I am slightly in > favor than neutral to this new feature. It sure does, I use git-svn for a project hosted on Google Code, and the e-mail addresses are totally borked (e.g., "gmail-account-id" ). Not only that, but some developers (including me I must admit) have a rather obscure gmail-account-id, which is uses as the user's name for the commit message. It would be very nice if I could provide a mapping from "borked svn id's" to "normal, sensible e-mail addresses, including real names", a feature which this series seems to add :). -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
