[Statcvs-users] Displaying authors' real names

[James R. <sj...@jd...>]

Hi all,

First of all, I'm new to this list but I've been using StatCVS to track a 
software engineering group project that I've been working on at uni for my 
honours work.

Our team has about 12 members, and StatCVS is an integral and invaluable part 
of our reporting of project progress to our lecturers!

Before StatCVS, we were using the cvs2cl script, which has a nice feature in 
that it allows you to specify the path to a Unix-style "passwd" file. After 
doing this, user's login names are translated to their real names.

I've added this functionality to StatCVS via a small patch, and you can see 
the results at http://xtuml.jdns.org/statcvs/ .

The patch adds a -passwd <path> command line option which does not interrupt 
the normal operation of StatCVS if the given path doesn't exist or cannot be 
read.

This patch does not actually modify the HTML output of StatCVS in any way. I'd 
like to see what you guys think about it before that! :)

Thanks for a great product!

Regards,
James
