At least one such case confirmed. You'll need to use different author maps for different sets of commits. In the gcc2 repository, dje was Doug Evans (this includes commits on premerge-fsf-branch, not just the early part of trunk). In the repository that started as the EGCS repository, dje is David Edelsohn. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
