Hi,

Can anyone help me with a username case conflict in git svn clone?

Running

  `git svn clone svn://svn.example.com/project --no-metadata -A users.txt project`

whenusers.txt contains:

juser Joe User <joe.user@example.com>

JUser Joe User <joe.user@example.com>

returns:

Initialized empty Git repository in /var/git/SCE/sce/.git/

	A	a.txt

	A	b.txt

Author: JUser not defined in users.txt file

I was hoping that the two versions of the username would be replaced with the same details, but apparently not.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dave.

Reread the manual.  Hint: there must be an equal sign.

Andreas.
