Each changeset has a "user" field that identifies the author of the changeset. This value persists as the changeset is pushed across repositories. In addition, each push to a repository is associated with whoever did the push. So whoever does the commit just needs to set the "user" appropriately and it should be all fine. > hence in git there's no reason to > ever require author metadata in the file. Nor for hg. -BorisReceived on Wednesday, 28 October 2015 13:40:29 UTC
