Hello.

I'm attempting to import a test repository from git. Unfortunately, the
names used in the resulting fossil commits are the *email addresses* of
the original committers.

Is it possible to tell fossil that commits should be "assigned" to
specific user names in the resulting fossil repository?

In your git log, does it use email address too? If yes it look to be git fault.

I use to convert a cvs repository to git and then to fossil and name was ok. Probably because they were originated from cvs and they were not email.

It gives the username followed by the address, if that's what you mean:

$ git log
commit 2984eef58e059db374b17183f69b411ae518a505
Author: tr-git <g...@io7m.com>

Test commit

The commits in the fossil repository all appear to come from
"g...@io7m.com" as opposed to "tr-git".

When I converted my repos, I just did a global search/replace in the
file exported from git.

That's fine. Just wanted to be sure that this wasn't a bug.
