Subject: Bug: "git svn clone" does not honor svn.authorsfile setting
Message-ID: <20091110130913.GR19475@poetic.cynic.net>

[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.
