Hello Everyone,

I have two identities that git knows me as, one for personal and the other for work. I just realized that I project I've been doing some work on at work was using the global config file on that box because I had forgotten to a project specific config to change my identity. Is there any way for me to edit the history so that the Author of all of those commits is changed to my personal identity?

Thanks in advance!
