Some of the authors in our SVN repository are x.509 identifiers, so my authors file has some entries like this: /C=NZ/ST=New Zealand/L=Auckland/O=Koordinates Ltd/OU=IS/CN=cdestigter = Craig de Stigter git-svn doesn't like that - it fails saying: Author: /C=NZ/ST=New Zealand/L=Auckland/O=Koordinates Ltd/OU=IS/CN=cdestigter not defined in ./authors.txt file I presume it is choking on either the spaces or the '=' characters in the SVN username? Comments / workarounds / fixes welcome... I'm avoiding messing with git-svn myself since I have no perl knowledge at all.
