Saw your message and recalled that I stumbled on the same issue some years back. Indeed fossil trumps git, so nobody looks back :)
In case you wonder, the reason you saw the email and name getting swapped is because the email was expected to be in form <user@email>, mind the <>. I just checked-in the fix (http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/76d9a4555b56405d), hope this works for you. Briefly, fossil user contact info may be formatted as email-only (u...@email.com), or also include a name ("Name User" <u...@email.com>) in addition to other type of info (??mail, phone). Below is a test-script I used to verify the functionality. As a side-note, fossil user's contact info format seems to be not explicitly specified. So technically, fossil would accept anything there. Yet looking at the export --git code, there are some implied expectations about possible contents of the info field in users table. Looks like the email was generally expected in form: "Name User" <u...@email.com>, note the brackets <>. The fix preserves these expectations, just in case. Following is the test-scipt I used to verify the generation of the git committer record: --------------------------- #!/bin/bash if [ -e xtest.fossil ] ; then rm xtest.fossil ; fi if [ -d xtest ] ; then rm -rf xtest ; fi if [ -e xtest.git-fast ] ; then rm xtest.git-fast ; fi if [ -d xtest-git ] ; then rm -rf xtest-git ; fi if [ -e xtest-git.authors-expected ] ; then rm xtest-git.authors-expected ; fi fossil version fossil init xtest.fossil --admin-user adminuser fossil user new "email@as.username" "" "" -R xtest.fossil fossil user new no-info "" "" -R xtest.fossil fossil user new has-email-only "has-email-o...@email.com" "" -R xtest.fossil fossil user new has-info "Name User <has-i...@email.com>" "" -R xtest.fossil fossil user new has-general-info " \"First Last\" < has-general-i...@email.com > other info" "" -R xtest.fossil fossil user new "<bracketed-email@as.username>" "" "" -R xtest.fossil echo "#######################################################" echo "I|FOSSIL::user list:username info" fossil user list -R xtest.fossil echo "#######################################################" echo "I|GIT::xtest-git.authors-expected list:{name, email}" cat <<EOF >xtest-git.authors-expected {First Last, has-general-i...@email.com} {Name User, has-i...@email.com} {adminuser, adminuser} {bracketed-email@as.username, bracketed-email@as.username} {email@as.username, email@as.username} {has-email-only, has-email-o...@email.com} {no-info, no-info} EOF cat xtest-git.authors-expected echo "#######################################################" echo "I|FOSSIL::repo setup" mkdir xtest cd xtest fossil open ../xtest.fossil fossil user default adminuser --user adminuser echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil add test.txt fossil commit -m "By default" echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By email@as.username" --user "email@as.username" echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By no-info" --user no-info echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By has-email-only" --user has-email-only echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By has-info" --user has-info echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By has-general-info" --user has-general-info echo "Test" >>test.txt fossil commit -m "By <bracketed-email@as.username>" --user "<bracketed-email@as.username>" fossil timeline echo "#######################################################" echo "I|FOSSIL::export --git" cd .. fossil export --git xtest.fossil >xtest.git-fast echo "I|GIT::import" mkdir xtest-git cd xtest-git git init git fast-import <../xtest.git-fast git checkout trunk git log --oneline --pretty=format:"{%aN, %aE}" --reverse | sort -u >../xtest-git.authors echo "#######################################################" echo "I|GIT::xtest-git.authors list:{name, email}" cd .. cat xtest-git.authors echo "#######################################################" echo "I|TEST::diff to xtest-git.authors-expected" diff xtest-git.authors xtest-git.authors-expected || echo "E|FAILED-TEST::diff to xtest-git.authors-expected" --------------------------- On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 5:35 PM, Chad Perrin <c...@apotheon.net> wrote: > When exporting from a Fossil repository and importing into a Git > repository, the commits all seem to identify the email address as the > name and the name as the email address.
