[Note that I've set Reply-to to both myself and this list, as I am not
subscribed to the list. Broken list software and MUAs sometimes don't
honor this. Check to whom you're replying!]

When using "git svn fetch" or "git svn clone", the --authors-file
command line parameter does what it claims in the docs. Additionally,
for "git svn fetch", an svn.authorsfile configuration parameter in
~/.gitconfig is used, if no command line argument is specified. However,
svn.authorsfile is ignored by "git svn clone", though the documentation
claims that clone "runs init and fetch."

I have confirmed this bug is present in git versions 1.6.0.4 and 1.6.5.1.

Heya,


Please don't. It is custom on the git list to always keep those who
are involved in the conversation cc-ed, adding a Reply-to makes this
difficult.

I've seen people use Mail-Followup-To to cause grumbles, but Reply-To
seems worse in a sense.  If I wanted to respond _privately_ to Curt, and
said "Reply", the message would have been broadcast to the public, and I
am using a MUA that is *not* broken and honors this setting.

Not good.

If you're running your list without munging Reply-to, congratulations
to you. I'll avoid it from now on on this list. However, it's the case
that for many, many lists out there, if I did not include myself in a
Reply-to, the list would set the Reply-to to the list, and most MUAs
would automatically exclude me from the reply.

Does moving the line:

command_oneline('config', 'svn.authorsfile', $_authors) if $_authors;

Immediately prior to the "fetch_all" line before it fix the problem? It
looks strange for it to set it afterwards...

That looks plausible to me, having had a quick look at the source, but
keep in mind I've already spent about 45 minutes debugging this problem
and figuring out how to file a bug report. I don't really have the time
at the moment to learn how to build and test new versions of git, unless
someone wants to walk me through it. I expect it would take rather less
time for someone in the know just to do the test.

Hi Curt,

Thanks for the bug report, the following patch should fix
the bug.  Also pullable from git://git.bogomips.org/git-svn

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: read global+system config for clone+init

Since $GIT_DIR does not exist when initializing new repositories,
we can follow back to the global and system config files for
git.

The logic for this was originally introduced when
$GIT_DIR/config was the only config file git could read (back
when "git config" was "git repo-config"), so the function is
renamed to "read_git_config" instead of "read_repo_config".

It took me a while (possibly due to low caffeine levels) to make a
failing (automated) test case, but I've also pushed this out as
well.

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: add authorsfile test case for ~/.gitconfig

The commit for:
    git svn: read global+system config for clone+init

Initially lacked a test case because the author was unable to
reproduce it under his test environment, this adds it.
