[Pkg-phototools-devel] Fixing a commit (log) mistake on openjpeg.git

[Robin Cornelius]

Hi Everyone.

I'm very sorry. but have made a small mistake committing my last
change into openjpeg.git. I used a clean repository that did not have
user.email setup and therefore the log has ended up with an incorrect
email address for commits 3c16ad086dae0e99d895309ad9cedc0ec34bbb23 and
03c3c9064ed4ed54c39a06aa45bac5bba4eca807.

I suspect this has generated a commit mail from the bogus address that
is now waiting list moderator approval too.

I was going to try a git-reset <commit id> which i know works on a
local copy, (then clone again and redo the changes and commits)
but as alioth does not have checked out local trees this will not
work. I don't want to just start *playing* on alioth.

If this is not important to be corrected then i will just say I'm very
sorry and we can leave it as that. But if some one knows the correct
way to fix this, I am happy to try it but require some "guidance" in
the fineness of git repository fixing :-)


Whilst i am writing an email. I was going to ask about the way to move
forward with openjpeg. I don't mean to sound pushy but would just like
to check etiquette. Should I go back to mentors with the updated
version and issue a fresh RFS (and I suspect copy this list too) and
just see what happens or should i just wait and someone here will move
things when they have the free time?


Thanks in advance

Robin
