Hi

Do you if mercurial has any feature that allows to make some cleaning of
contributors' names?

I'm asking because that would be better if one contributor had the same
"id" across whole history of the repo.
Because of this not being the case now, ohloh.net reports the curlpp
project has 7 contributors...

Regards
Piotr

ohloh also features an "alias" thing that lets you combine multiple
committers within the repo to a single physical person.

Thanks for info.
I've seen this feature but thought that would be even better to make it
right on the repo level in the first place.

You're so quick to response.
I can only imagine how much time you spend on software development stuff...
People like you are real heroes IMO.

Thanks for your kind words.

You can show (non-monetary based) appreciation by for example adding 'kudos'
on me on ohloh or writing a recommendation on linked.com or similar. But I
certainly do not demand it.
