Not sure how much real names instead of uids on the commits is worth:
can always list the uids in a CONTRIBUTORS file. But FYI the
identifiers that need to be mapped are:
$ git log upstream/2.35.cvs20080316 | egrep Author: | sort | uniq
Author: bbdb-writer <bbdb-writer>
Author: drv <drv>
Author: fenk <fenk>
Author: kensanata <kensanata>
Author: kuepper <kuepper>
Author: sds <sds>
Author: shenghuo <shenghuo>
Author: simmonmt <simmonmt>
Author: waider <waider>
and the mapping would be done by putting this into the file
cvs-authors (without the indentation)
bbdb-writer=Ronan Waide <wai...@waider.ie>
drv=Didier Verna <did...@xemacs.org>
fenk=Robert Fenk <f...@users.sourceforge.net>
kensanata=Alex Schroeder <kensan...@yahoo.com>
kuepper=Jochen Küpper <b...@jochen-kuepper.de>
sds=Sam Steingold <s...@goems.com>
shenghuo=ShengHuo ZHU <z...@cs.rochester.edu>
simmonmt=Matt Simmons <simmo...@acm.org>
waider=Ronan Waide <wai...@waider.ie>
and using "git cvsimport -A cvs-authors ..."
I've been meaning to re-import with keyword expansion turned off, and
rebase on top of that. If I do this I'll be sure to map ids while I'm
at it, and send a pointer.
In any case, I'd encourage you to cherry-pick any useful non debian/*
commits off my repository. (I suppose I really should have done it in
two rails to make this trivial; can generate this using the
appropriate git magic if that would make your life easier.)
Cheers,
--Barak.
