Subject: git svn --add-author-from implies --use-log-author
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:31:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080620113147.GC27940@frsk.net> (raw)

Hi,

when running git svn dcommit --add-author-from on a git-svn repository,
--use-log-author is not implied by itself. This causes the rewritten history
to not show the author in the way most users would expect it to be, "Name
<email@domain.tld>", but instead "<user@uuid>".

Instead of forcing people to write "svn dcommit --add-author-from
--use-log-author", is it a bad move to imply the last argument, making the
history look more user-friendly to start with?

Any thoughts?
