As you know Subversion uses the "username" to mark the commit authors. Mercurial on the contrary usually includes "Real Name <[email protected]>". This is done because given its distributed nature commits can come from almost anywhere. And it may be useful to identify who did a commit. For example to ask the authors doubts about a commit or to move from one license to another.
Example. What previously was: changeset: 468:8ec87c23b053 user: johndoe date: Fri Feb 20 16:18:04 2009 +0000 summary: Issue 7678. Issue 7679. Fixed a postgresql related problem. Now it will be: changeset: 468:8ec87c23b053 user: John Doe <[email protected]> date: Fri Feb 20 16:18:04 2009 +0000 summary: Issue 7678. Issue 7679. Fixed a postgresql related problem. So we have identified all the commit authors to the trunk of Openbravo ERP. And we've built a mapping file that will be used for the final conversion. Please review your name and e-mail. If there's something you want to change, reply me with your desired change (not to the whole list). Take into account that you should use this same name for future commits.
