Recently converted a large (11,000+ revisions) repository.

We authenticate against the NT domain controller, so all our revision
authors are of the form "domain\user". (You can switch off mod_sspi
reporting the domain part, but I didn't know about this at the time,
so it continues for historical reasons.)

git-svn treats the literal backslashes in the author names as escapes.
This leads to authors like

domainkevin
domain\
ichard

I know, I should have read the manual and used my "authors" file. Bah.

I'm sure that part of the revision hash in git includes the author
name... so I guess I'm looking at another multi-day conversion. :-(

Can I suggest that you make the authors file compulsory by default as well?
