Here is my reasoning regarding the rolfh account. There are just two commits: r2512 | rolfh | 1992-10-18 17:50:52 -0700 (Sun, 18 Oct 1992) | 2 lines r2376 | rolfh | 1992-10-08 18:48:26 -0700 (Thu, 08 Oct 1992) | 2 lines In the gcc2 repository, these correspond to r1.73 and r1.65 of Makefile.in,v. The relevant ChangeLog.6 entries are: Sun Oct 18 17:52:05 1992 Arne H. Juul ([email protected]) * Makefile.in (libobjc.a): Remove libobjc.a in current directory before attempting to hardlink it or make will fail in later stages. (sublibobcj.a): Don't use $(MAKEFLAGS) for objc subdir stuff. Thu Oct 8 18:45:00 1992 Arne H. Juul ([email protected]) * Makefile.in (install-common-headers): added missing 'then' So rolfh corresponds to Arne H. Juul as author, whoever the committer might have been, and so that seems to be the best mapping for that username. -- Joseph S. Myers [email protected]
