Hi Joe,

Yes. I didn't change it's core behavior- it used to extract the
information from the committer's email address previously; I just
changed it to use the author's email address. For dates, it uses
committer dates again, and this is probably desirable: author dates
aren't necessarily monotonic, and this can break some functionality in
SVN.

Ofcourse, a lot more is possible with an patch that allows users to
configure all these things. Until then, I recommend that you just edit
the source to achieve the desired results.
