The current authors files includes the names as provided on sourceforge. The same goes for the email addresses at the moment, which is usern...@users.sourceforge.net.

I suppose there is a change that older commit messages are not UTF-8 encoded, however I can't check all commit messages manually.

I have not (or at least should not) included those at the moment. It was a question I had myself but that is answered now, I won't migrate the meta data git-svn-id. > Cool feature!

That is correct, when people report bugs we want to know on what version it happened, it might be a bug which was already fixed. Which brings me to our current tagging schema, which is currently "V-0-96-9". I suppose it will be better to rename those to "v0.69.9". There are currently 3 tags which I think I will remove, these are: "LATEST", "initial" and "start". Those are tags migrated from CVS and I don't think they actually have any meaning anymore. - Jeroen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
