# git-svn authors file and SVN users with ‘=’ in the username 5 messages from 2014-07-28 to 2014-07-29. Participants: David Braden, Jeff King. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/37230 ## David Braden, 2014-07-28 11:33 Subject: git-svn authors file and SVN users with ‘=’ in the username Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/dc3fda62c3e94eba9d29fd4b34f2e7cc%40EXCHLONDON2013.zoo.lan ``` I’m creating a git clone of a svn repository and am trying to set up an authors file to map between the svn users and our git usernames. The svn repository uses the full subject line of a ssl certificate for the user id and so it contains ‘=’ which causes the authors file to be parsed incorrectly as it splits on the first equals. The code that does the parsing is: # ' = real-name ' mapping based on git-svnimport: sub load_authors { open my $authors, '<', $_authors or die "Can't open $_authors $!\n"; my $log = $cmd eq 'log'; while (<$authors>) { chomp; next unless /^(.+?|$no author$)\s*=\s*(.+?)\s*<(.+)>\s*$/; my ($user, $name, $email) = ($1, $2, $3); if ($log) { $Git::SVN::Log::rusers{"$name <$email>"} = $user; } else { $users{$user} = [$name, $email]; } } close $authors or croak $!; } How can I work around this limitation?

I have not tried it, but I suspect --authors-prog might work, as it passes the name as an argument to the program. -Peff ``` ## David Braden, 2014-07-29 08:35 Subject: RE: git-svn authors file and SVN users with ‘=’ in the username Message-ID: <49f272949fef4122b2eb83a7a242e366@EXCHLONDON2013.zoo.lan> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/49f272949fef4122b2eb83a7a242e366%40EXCHLONDON2013.zoo.lan In-Reply-To: <20140728200744.GA18098@peff.net> ``` Yeah, the --authors-prog does work. Is there a way to save the configuration though so you don't have to add it everytime time you rebase or dcommit?

I think that git-svn's config reader uses the command-line options as a template, and automatically reads "--authors-prog" from "svn.authorsprog". I didn't test it, though. -Peff ``` ## David Braden, 2014-07-29 09:32 Subject: RE: git-svn authors file and SVN users with ‘=’ in the username Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/b81d706aa8bd42f391dcc26b4b7f7fbf%40EXCHLONDON2013.zoo.lan In-Reply-To: <20140729092637.GB13134@peff.net> ``` Yeah, that works.
