When using git-svn rebase (I'm not sure if this happens with a regular rebase as well, I use use git-svn primarily at work), the following oddity happens:

kelvie@mudd (working) qt $ git-cat-file commit c27e6207c9078d4225288d55454d6577f0135c16 tree 13d9ef9cc67f5e6381d7697e5794c0ab5f72c729 parent b9eb187d3029c5f9a816cb8f5473d9b239952d53 author kwong <kwong@e2d93294-a71b-0410-9dca-e2ea525a67c9> 1195596864 +0000 committer cscrimgeour <cscrimgeour@e2d93294-a71b-0410-9dca-e2ea525a67c9> 1195691944 +0000

Qt/FME Extensions: QFMEDialog/QFMEWizard -> Windows only, for now
This is also a reapplication of r39657, which got rolled back.

These have dependencies on QWinWidget (which is a part of the MFC/Qt Migration Solution), and thus, it does not build without it. <kw> kelvie@mudd (working) qt $ git-cat-file commit 7075991c67c6d409ec2315dfeef6f45dd328485b tree 13d9ef9cc67f5e6381d7697e5794c0ab5f72c729 parent b9eb187d3029c5f9a816cb8f5473d9b239952d53 author kwong <kwong@e2d93294-a71b-0410-9dca-e2ea525a67c9> 1195596864 +0000 committer Kelvie Wong <Kelvie.Wong@safe.com> 1195747291 +0000

These are both the exact same commit (the tree, parent, and author are equivalent).

Sometimes (not always), the committer in a commit changes to be the committer of the parent (svn) commit. This only happens to the commits whose parent is the SVN commit. In the above example, cscrimgeour is a SVN user, who obviously could not have changed my code; the proper commit is the one at the bottom.

Both of these are the first local commit that I have rebased onto SVN.
