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!
