Code and commit logs are totally separate things. All commit logs have
a record of the committer, and if the committer didn't write ALL of
the changes in the commit then whoever did should be mentioned in the
commit log. In fact, IMO, it is very important that whoever
contributed to it be mentioned in the commit log for both legal and
attribution/credit reasons.

I don't agree, we should not have any mention of authors or sponcors
in the code, and svn log is IMO part of the code.
I belmieve it's more a convention. If I'm not wrong, there are no
strict rules about that at the ASF, but it's a convention. I
remember Jacopo (and at least I) removing authors references when we
went to the incubator.

Hi Hans,
I'm worried you're creating a precedence here by attributing a
commit to your company within the commit message, OFBiz is
business software and of course a large majority of the commits
are funded by various companies.
Personally I don't think this a practice that we would want to
see continued.

New Revision: 816083
URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=816083&view=rev
Log:
added a 'setup' component to create a system from seed data
only. After the required data is created with this component it
is possible to enter a salesorder and quickship it and create an
invoice successfully. The 'setup' component will only show in the
tab selection if there is no accounting organization. Check the
ofbiz document for more info or look in the file applications/
commonext/documents/Setup.xml. Created and sponsored by
Antwebsystems. Programmed by employee Tukkata
