</span>Adding --use-log-author to "git svn fetch" will have no effect unless<br>
the committer either adds --add-author-from to "git svn dcommit" or<br>
does a one-time setup:<br>
<br>
$ git config --global config svn.addAuthorFrom true<br>
<br>
You can continue to use "Patch by <name>" if neither you nor the<br>
author care. If correct attribution on the git mirror is important to<br>
*either* party, then the git mirror must be configured with<br>
--use-log-author. As a committer, correct attribution on the git<br>
mirror is important to me for ethical and practical reasons. It<br>
should probably be important to me for legal reasons too. :)</blockquote></div><br>Not having different attribution mechanisms or creating any appearance that one might be more or less important than another is important to me.</div></div>
