Hello,
As I understand it, the git conversion will require an email address for
any commiter in our subversion repository.
The way we fill the email address currently is through the USERINFO
repository available with subversion at:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/USERINFO
Each file is named according to a svn author and filled with various
fields. The email address can be filled under the field "email:" and can
be obfuscated.
Example for author "hashar":
name: Ashar Voultoiz
email: hashar at free dot fr
url:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hashar
irc: hashar
languages spoken: French, English
father: yes
I have just imported in subversion the list of authors from the code
review extension deployed at
www.mediawiki.org. It would be great to
fill in the email: fields for each of the author that are missing it. It
will ease the git migration :-)
A shell one liner will get you an up-to-date list of author files which
are missing the "email:" field:
egrep -c ^email: * | egrep -v '1$' | cut -d\: -f1 | sort
In case an author is an alias, you can add an "alias:" field to the new
user name. For example gwicke used to commit with the name gabrielwicke
hence is "gwicke" author file has the special field:
aliases: gabrielwicke
The output for the above oneline is below. Please help populating email
address :-)
