I think it is nicer if real names and email addresses are used in the
Author field of commit messages, so that the old commits will have a
similar Author field as new commits made directly with git. I've
attached an authors file that can be used with git-svn to do this. I
just tested it with

git svn init svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-samba/ -T trunk/samba -b branches/samba -t tags/samba
git svn fetch --authors-file=../pkg-samba-authorsfile

Git svn fetch has been running for quite some time now, but hasn't
finished yet. I think the authorsfile is complete, but as git svn
fetch hasn't finished running I can't be completely sure. Git svn
fetch will stop if any name is missing, then you can easily add the
missing name and continue.


Kind regards,
