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
