This is all fine and dandy, but one matter that doesn't seem to be mentioned in anything I've read is how/if you are going to match the SVN usernames with proper git-ready authorship information (i.e. email addresses). Did you prepare such matching list? Like, I have a 111 lines authors file that I used in the past for some conversions I did (coming from the debian-med team, fwiw), but I'm sure that if you are going to properly convert collab-maint you'll need quite a longer list. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
