Hi Alec,

You may want to go back and do another import for other reasons, but if
the only reason is to fix up the author information it would be _much_
faster to simply rewrite the git commit history.  Cogito has something
called "cg-admin-rewritehist" which should do what you need and there
are other scripts floating around specificially for rewriting just the
author information.

HTH,
Sean
