Please ensure before Monday July 20th that we've mapped your BRL-CAD commit 
username to a valid GitHub account:

  
https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/brlcad/trunk/misc/repoconv/account-map
 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/brlcad/code/HEAD/tree/brlcad/trunk/misc/repoconv/account-map>

Last year, we announced plans to migrate from SourceForge to GitHub.  In order 
to preserve and present as much history as possible, we’ve needed to map 
usernames to GitHub accounts.  If you’ve ever committed to BRL-CAD’s repo (CVS 
or SVN), a GitHub account is required in order for your commits to be counted.  
All contributors we can reach have been contacted, so this is a LAST CALL.

This test conversion shows how those with GitHub accounts are presently slated 
for display on GitHub:

  https://github.com/starseeker/brlcad_conv3/graphs/contributors 
<https://github.com/starseeker/brlcad_conv3/graphs/contributors>

For the technically curious, BRL-CAD’s history is being rebuilt from the ground 
up with commits replayed, regenerated, and spliced from SVN *and* CVS history.  
The conversion takes several days, but results in a comprehensive preservation 
not attainable by any existing svn-to-git toolchain and allows us to 
continuously trace the history of all development.  This amazing 
reconstruction, developed by Cliff Yapp, is going to preserve one of the oldest 
continuously developed codebases in the world.  Thank you for being part of 
that history.

Cheers!
Sean

NOTE: once migration is complete, it will not be practical to make adjustments 
to names or addresses due to how git manages commit info and impact 
implications.  That's the main reason for extraordinary efforts to "get it 
right the first time.”  We aiming to flip the switch in August.
