From: Tobias Klauser Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 11:52:01 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: trim leading and trailing whitespaces in author name Message-ID: <20190912115201.888-1-tklauser@distanz.ch> In some cases, the svn author names might contain leading or trailing whitespaces, leading to messages such as: Author: user1 not defined in authors.txt (the trailing newline leads to the line break). The user "user1" is defined in authors.txt though, e.g. user1 = User Fix this by trimming the author name retreived from svn before using it in check_author.
