I wish, but from what I've seen that's not happening in the wider world.
I'd easily believe people who start using Fossil end up losing interest
in Git, though.

I've confirmed the sed approach works.  Borrowing directly from here:

https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/inout.wiki

. . . but simplifed, somewhat, with a sed command in the middle, the end
result looks like this:

fossil export --git --export-marks ../repo/fossil.marks  \
  ../repo.fossil | sed \
  's/^\(committer \+\)\([^ ]\+@[^ ]\+\)\( *<\)\(\w\+\)\(>.*\)$/\1\4\3\2\5/' 
\
  | git fast-import --export-marks=../repo/git.marks

The regex is a little long.  I might try to pare it down slightly, at
some point.  I'll also try to find time to report an issue with Git
export formatting that swaps email and name info, then if I feel *very*
ambitious about the time I have available to spend I might also try
submitting a patch to close the issue.  Don't hold your breath, though;
life is crazy, and my to-do list is already long.

I hope the lack of responses to my questions was because of the holiday
season, because that means you all might be having a good time.

Is there any reason piping the Fossil export through sed to fix name and
email, then piping the correct result into Git, would not work?  I only
ask because it does not seem to work here.  I used a sed regex that I
have verified works on a string copied from an unmodified Fossil export,
but for some reason does not work when I actually try to use it by
sticking it between the Fossil export command and the Git import
commands, connected together via pipes.
