Accumulators, I accidentally made a big mistake with my authorship information in a recent commit to the accumulo git repository.
Git was somehow pointing to somebody else's .gitconfig file when I authored my commits for ACCUMULO-4514, so the authorship information on my last commits were incorrect. I immediately corrected the author information and did a force push. * This affected only my commits, and nobody else's. * The contents of the commits was not changed... only the author information. * The affected branches were: 1.7, 1.8, master I understand this it is not normal, or expected to see force pushes like this. My reasoning was that I did *NOT* have that user's permission to use their information in my commit, and I did not want to misrepresent myself as them when they had nothing to do with those commits. I was also able to notice the problem and fix it very quickly, so I was reasonably confident that it would be fixed before anybody would notice. However, since it was my mistake, I do owe the community an apology. Please forgive this serious error in judgment. I will endeavor to verify my commits more thoroughly before pushing them in the future. Thank you for your understanding. If this impacted your clone/mirror/checkout in any way (because I did not correct it fast enough), please let me know, and I will provide any necessary git expertise to correct your environment.
