[Note that I've set Reply-to to both myself and this list, as I am not subscribed to the list. Broken list software and MUAs sometimes don't honor this. Check to whom you're replying!]

When using "git svn fetch" or "git svn clone", the --authors-file command line parameter does what it claims in the docs. Additionally, for "git svn fetch", an svn.authorsfile configuration parameter in ~/.gitconfig is used, if no command line argument is specified. However, svn.authorsfile is ignored by "git svn clone", though the documentation claims that clone "runs init and fetch."

I have confirmed this bug is present in git versions 1.6.0.4 and 1.6.5.1.
