[Ganglia-developers] updating git user IDs

[Daniel P. <da...@po...>]

I've just added an authors.txt file to the git repo

Can people please:

a) find your user ID (or IDs) from Sourceforge

b) put in your real name and preferred email address

c) commit your change to the file

There is no technical reason for authors.txt to be in the repo, I just
thought this would be a convenient way to do this.

I don't think git validates it in anyway, but I think it is convenient
if each user is consistent, always using the same name/email.

At some point later in the month, I will try to use the
git-filter-branch method to amend the repo to contain the correct author
details for all past commits.  For anyone who has not updated the file,
I will simply use one of the following:

- the name/email you use in a recent github commit

- if no github commits, the name/email you last used on the public email
list
