CVS by default uses the unix username when writing its
commit logs. Using this option and an author-conv-file
in this format
-
++
+---------
exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org>
- git-cvsimport will make it appear as those authors had
- their GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL set properly
- all along.
-
- For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors
- each time the -A option is provided and read from that same
- file each time git-cvsimport is run.
-
- It is not recommended to use this feature if you intend to
- export changes back to CVS again later with
- git-link[1]::git-cvsexportcommit.
