The original username is preserved and is accessible, but the modified user name is the one used on timeline displays and such. If you click on the link to a particular check-in in the timeline, then click on the "Edit" link for the check-in information page, it takes you to a screen that lets you "modify" the check-in in various ways, such as changing the user name. But Baruch is correct in saying that the check-in is not really modified - what this does is create a special tag that says "display this alternative username on the timeline". Unfortunately, there is no way to do this for every check-in all at once. You would have to go through and create separate tags for each check-in. There is probably a way to script this. But it would be better to change the names in git prior to import, probably. Or, run the git-fast-export text through a sed script that makes the change prior to sending into "fossil import". -- D.
