Here is my guess: he's working on his PhD at Huston under Edgar's supervision. My point is that if one doesn't know who is behind an svn_id, it is not by having his email address that the lack of knowledge get resolved. The git and hg stuff export an email address I choose locally, so there is nothing to compare with the situation here. Your argument basically states that if they doesn't show you they have it, then it is OK. My argument, is that it is not a voluntary action each one of us choose to do, disclosing personal information should not happen. We can argue this back and forth for days, meanwhile I will take the required steps to fix the situation on my end. george. > (no cheating to look them up) > >> Btw, the commit emails __are__ archived on the web, they appear on ohloh, >> cia.vc and so on.
