Description

Firstly - git.moodle.org should be added as a component of MDLSITE

When runnning git cvsimport, we can use -A parameter to produce more git-ish log using the data from cvsadmin. This is what works for me:

$ git cvsimport -A cvs-authors.txt ...

See cvs-authors.txt attached for the list of users. This file was prepared manually. There shoudl be some automatic way how to generate it from cvsadmin module data.

I have added git.moodle.org as an MDLSITE component.

Are you talking about gitweb (http://git.moodle.org/) or command line git?

if you mean gitweb, the viewvc (http://cvs) page also displays usernames and not full names, looking through the CGI it would be pretty easy to change this if we really want...

I was talking about the log produced by command line git as I believe that the gitweb just displays what is in the log.

This is not a killer, of course, but it makes our git mirror more git-ish . Please do not spend to much time on this - simply adding the "-A" parameter to your current script where cvsimport is done would be more than enough for now.

Thanks

I've written a little script that compiles a suitable file for the "-A" parameter of git-cvsimport based on whats in the cvs passwd file
Have to wait until the next import runs, but it should work ok

Is there a way to update the email address in the cvs password file? I guess it has my old moodle.org email address?

It was already set to something different, but I have changed it again to see if this helps.
