your git author

[Antony Stubbs]

Tompson, your git author for commits

is broken (U-omega7\Thomas <Thomas@omega7.(none)> vs tompson <t...@einwaller.net
>). Do you want to do a fix a re-push it up again?

Also, generally guys, you put your full name in the Author field, not
a username (dsklyut, Toolman, pablotdl, tompson vs Jason Thrasher,
Antony Stubbs, Isidoro Trevino etc etc...).

So if anyone wants to fix their commits before I start merging, speak
now or forever hold your peace.
Moving forward I'd like it tidied up though - makes a lot of sense.

This is what I'm looking at if anyone's interested: (gitx on OSX)

To change the author you've used in your commits, you need to re-write history. Although you've pushed it already, no one has actually proceeded based on what you've pushed yet, so it's "ok".

you can start off by tagging the current head - so you don't loose your place, or if you stuff up you should be able to go back to it.

git tag beforeAuthorChange

git-filter-branch --env-filter "export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='New name'; export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='New email'" HEAD

See how you go with that.

I already set up my username correctly ... but too late

I will leave to old commits with the wrong name

I fixed my username ... first I had a problem to push the changes but
this post:

http://recurser.com/articles/2009/04/29/rename-authors-in-a-git-repository/

helped me - I had to do a pull before I could push my changes

Thomas, I think you may have made a mistake....
If you have a look at
http://github.com/tompson/spring-modules/commits/master?&page=2
you can see that you have actually assigned yourself as the Author for
many, many commits - dating back to 2005!

I can help you with this later, if you can't fix it yourself.

[Antony Stubbs]

Thomas - also your author name still appears to be just "tompson"
instead of "Thomas Einwaller".

[Thomas Einwaller]

yes, I am not happy with the results too ... maybe you could help me
clean up that mess
