It was subsequently promoted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113012004/https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress">WordPress/WordPress</a>. What I neglected to do, however, was provide an appropriate <code>authors.txt</code> file, until recently. That means that earlier commits are attributed to dummy e-mail addresses and as such cannot be associated with user accounts on GitHub. Considering the recent introduction of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113012004/https://github.com/blog/1360-introducing-contributions">contributions on GitHub</a>, this seems a shame. Also, if we were to move to Git in the future, we would probably want our official mirror to have the best possible data.</p> <h2>Proposed</h2> <p>That we re-run the <code>git-svn</code> import with a proper <code>authors.txt</code> file.</p> <h2>Upsides</h2> <p>We’ll have a proper Git mirror with good and consistent author data, that we can, if desired, use for a future migration to Git. Commits will be properly attributed in GitHub.</p> <h2>Downsides</h2> <p>This will break Git history. If you have a Git checkout of WordPress, either standalone or in a submodule, that’ll mean that you’ll have to rebase your master branch off of <code>origin</code> (or even better, blow the whole thing away and re-clone).</p> <p>So: thoughts? Would this ruin your day?</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt=""
