I have applied the patch.
I use the git post-commit hook described in the README-hacking file
to change the author field of the commit.
------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# post-commit
# avoid recursion
test $IN_GIT_HOOK_POST_COMMIT && exit 0
export IN_GIT_HOOK_POST_COMMIT=1
# Get author from latest ChangeLog entry. Remove date, leading and trailing
# spaces, and condense multiple spaces to 1.
CL_author=$(head -n 1 ChangeLog | sed -e 's/^[[:digit:]-]*//' -e 's/^ *//' -e
's/ *$//' -e 's/ \+/ /')
# Get author from last commit
HEAD_author=$(git log -1 --pretty=format:'%an <%ae>')
if test "$CL_author" != "$HEAD_author" ; then
git commit --amend --author="$CL_author" --reuse-message=HEAD
echo "post-commit: changed author from '$HEAD_author'"
echo "post-commit: to '$CL_author'."
echo "post-commit: to override, run:"
echo "post-commit: IN_GIT_HOOK_POST_COMMIT=1 git commit --amend -C HEAD
--author=\"$HEAD_author\""
fi
