magit + git + authorship

magit + git + authorship

[Andy Wingo]

Hi!

In something of an embarassment, I mistakently attributed to Jason Earl
a number of commits:

  b5870f25 * origin/stable-2.0 stable-2.0 rely on gnulib for `poll'
  428f9e95 * import `poll' from gnulib
  988ca6b2 * add %site-ccache-dir
  a4b4fbbd * excise use of "iff" in the manual
  e9381f58 * fix AC_CHECK_DECLS for `alarm'
  cfe24bc4 * use chmod portably in (system base compile)

84dfde82 is correctly attributed.

The origin of the problem was a misunderstanding of how Magit does
authorship.  I had set the author with C-c C-t on one commit, but it
seems that Magit kept that informaiton for my subsequent commits.

Sorry for the confusion!

Andy

On the one hand I am very sorry that this happened.  On the other, I
have to admit that was my best git pull ever!

I would say that is being very generous.  I did learn a lot though.  I
also have to say that I have never had so much fun filing a bug.  Guile
has a very nice community.

Thanks,
