Subject: Fixing author/email fields in commit messages
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2006 19:45:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43F8BCB1.2010701@gmail.com> (raw)
When I started my git repository for my project, I never setup
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME etc. correctly,
so my commit messages used the default information,
"<jacob@skeletor.(none)>", "skeletor" being the
hostname of the computer I'm working on. I'd like to change it so that
the messages will contain correct
information about my e-mail and username. I noticed that this question
has been brought up here before
and that the solution might be to use git-convert-objects, but that it
might need some modifications.
Has anyone come up with a working tool for this task ?
I know how to make the future commits look as expected.
//Jacob
