After much thought about this subject, I went ahead and pushed a non
fast forward update to the autotest repo, rewriting the project's
history effectively, assigning authorship where it belongs and getting
old cruft from the svn days.

We decided to do it because:
 * It's more fair to the over 200 contributors we had over the years

$ git shortlog -s | wc -l
202

 * Stats do matter, with a more properly written history it'll be easier
to generate relevant stats for people, using git.

So, let's consider this a much needed housekeeping initiative, and sorry
for the inconveniences.

Now, for 3rd party, I ask you guys to rebase. I did all my rebases using
git format-patch and re-applying the patches cleanly on newly created
branches, and you might well do the same (unless there's some fancy
ninja git tool to do it without using patches at all). I'll be available
to assist you, should you need any help.

Thank you!

Lucas
