Hello,

we are periodically doing a 'git p4 sync' on a p4 clone that was initially created by 'git p4 clone --bare //DEPOT'. Now on P4 side the mail addresses have changed, but git still uses the old addresses. p4 users already shows the new addresses but new changes in the git log are showing the old addresses.

There is https://git-scm.com/docs/git-p4#Documentation/git-p4.txt-git-p4mapUser to remap users but afaik there is no mapping at all right now.

I tried
   mapUser = SomeUser = Some User <some.user@local>

but also with this configuration new changes synced are showed as some.user@oldlocal.

We are not submitting back to P4, this is just a readonly git p4 clone.

Best regards, Massimo
