Hi Joe,

Yes. I didn't change it's core behavior- it used to extract the information from the committer's email address previously; I just changed it to use the author's email address. For dates, it uses committer dates again, and this is probably desirable: author dates aren't necessarily monotonic, and this can break some functionality in SVN.

Ofcourse, a lot more is possible with an patch that allows users to configure all these things. Until then, I recommend that you just edit the source to achieve the desired results.
