This causes the rewritten history to not show the author in the way most users would expect it to be, "Name ", but instead "". 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? -- Regards, Fredrik Skolmli
