Subject: Should GIT_AUTHOR_{NAME,EMAIL} set the tagger name/email?
Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2012 17:34:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACBZZX7Ud8Xx225ss6SYqZFXyW0FG2XJimBWdvW_NuMqn8yOnA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Maybe this is documented in some place I didn't spot, but I expected
that when I set GIT_AUTHOR_{NAME,EMAIL} it would affect the operation
of git-tag, but it doesn't seem to. When I create tags it seems to
completely ignore those variables.
Should it be doing that? Here's a test script demonstrating the issue:
#!/bin/sh -e
# Set defaults
git config --global user.name "Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason"
git config --global user.email "avarab@gmail.com"
rm -rf /tmp/test-git
git init /tmp/test-git
cd /tmp/test-git
make_commit() {
file=$1
content=$2
echo $content >$file
git add $file
git commit -m"$file: $content" $file
git --no-pager log -1 HEAD | grep ^Author
}
make_commit README "testing content"
git config user.name "Test User"
git config user.email "test@example.com"
make_commit README "testing content again"
git tag -a -m"annotated tag" tag-name-1
git --no-pager show tag-name-1 | grep ^Author
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Tag Test User"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="tagtest@example.com" git tag -a -m"another annotated
tag" tag-name-2
git --no-pager show tag-name-2 | grep ^Author
Which outputs:
$ sh /tmp/test-tag.sh
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test-git/.git/
[master (root-commit) 9816756] README: testing content
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 README
Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
[master 304b71e] README: testing content again
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
Author: Test User <test@example.com>
Author: Test User <test@example.com>
Author: Test User <test@example.com>
I'd expect references to "Tag Test User <tagtest@example.com>" for the
second tag I created.
