I don't think there was any such consensus (older ids weren't from gcc.gnu.org anyway so @gcc.gnu.org would be nonsense for that part of the history). My view is: contributors are free to specify what name and email address they want used, but if they want something other than a single name and email address for the whole commit history with a given username, it's the contributor's responsibility to come up with lists of commits that use each mapping rather than a hypothetical recipe based on examining ChangeLogs. [reposurgeon aside from observations with other conversions where different author maps were needed for different revisions: the revision range for commits from the gcc2 repository works in the GCC case because that revision range came from CVS and so there are no tags with valid commit authors in that range. But if you have a repository with different ranges of commits having different author maps *and* those ranges contain SVN tags, simply specifying a range <SVN-commit>..<SVN-commit> doesn't work as expected, since ranges are interpreted in reposurgeon's ordering of events, not SVN's ordering, and the tag events are out of sequence with the commit events.] -- Joseph S.
