Hi John,

No, it won't be a problem. This is the default "mapping" in git-svn.

The committer name is only visible in your git-svn clone. When you
dcommit, it will use your normal SVN username, the same one which is
used when you use SVN normally.

Your configured git name and email will be used in your local commits,
but as soon as you dcommit, those commits are rewritten to use this
username@uuid style.

If you think this is really annoying, or you are planning to make a
permanent migration away from SVN, you can use an authors-file when
doing the initial git-svn clone. See
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html for more
info on the --authors-file option.
