Hi,
Can anyone help me with a username case conflict in git svn clone?
Running
  `git svn clone svn://svn.example.com/project --no-metadata -A users.txt project`
whenusers.txt contains:
juser Joe User <joe.user@example.com>
JUser Joe User <joe.user@example.com>
returns:
Initialized empty Git repository in /var/git/SCE/sce/.git/
	A	a.txt
	A	b.txt
Author: JUser not defined in users.txt file
I was hoping that the two versions of the username would be replaced with the same details, but apparently not.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dave.
