I'm hoping to convert the Autoconf repository to git (while still providing a
CVS read-only mirror); right now, the main holdup is waiting for gnulib to
pioneer the way in setting up git-cvsserver on Savannah:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00088.html
In the meantime, does anyone know the name of the person behind the following
user-ids, each of which has made commits to autoconf CVS but which left no
ChangeLog entry and no name in the CVS log for their actions? The various
commits were all years ago, and touched either config.{guess,sub} or {make-
stds,standards}.texi. Also listed is the date of the most recent commit by the
uid in question.

[Oh, did I mention how awesome git is? I grabbed an rsync-clone of the CVS
repository (22 megabytes), then did git-cvsimport with an author map for the
uid mappings that I do have (only 10 megabytes in the bare .git directory).
Then the above list was obtained by 'git log --pretty=short | grep Author: |
sort -u'; and the date of the most recent commit for a given $uid is as easy
as 'git log --pretty=medium | grep -A1 $uid | head -n2'. Try finding the same
information quickly with CVS.]
