Subject: git-svn fails with non-alphanumeric SVN authors
Message-ID: <e260aad41002241247r180d5477kd18f5cbee8109634@mail.gmail.com>

Hi list

I'm trying to use git-svn to move our subversion to git. Some of the
authors in our SVN repository are x.509 identifiers, so my authors
file has some entries like this:
   /C=NZ/ST=New Zealand/L=Auckland/O=Koordinates
Ltd/OU=IS/CN=cdestigter = Craig de Stigter
<craig.destigter@koordinates.com>

git-svn doesn't like that - it fails saying:
   Author: /C=NZ/ST=New Zealand/L=Auckland/O=Koordinates
Ltd/OU=IS/CN=cdestigter not defined in ./authors.txt file

I presume it is choking on either the spaces or the '=' characters in
the SVN username?

Comments / workarounds / fixes welcome... I'm avoiding messing with
git-svn myself since I have no perl knowledge at all.

Thanks for any help
Craig de Stigter
