Oooh, ouch :-).
This might be a *bit* harsh, Erik, although I agree with the some of
content of what you are saying. But not all. Note that:
1. Quite a few of our contributed scripts have the author's name and
email addresses in them. We've been okay with that, because they
really are developed in a different way than the rest of
Subversion. (The "territoriality cost" is lower, while the
"contactability" benefit is arguably higher.)
2. Yes, we want the tigris account name to be the same as the SVN
committer name. But it would be reasonable to blame me, or
whoever, for not having noticed the discrepancy, since we were
the ones who set up the SVN commit account. (The requirement was
not even documented until fairly recently, as I recall.)
3. We haven't been perfectly consistent about including the email
addresses as well as the names of contributors whose patches we
apply. If Stefan was simply using the logs as an example, he
could have been guided either way. Sure, *most* contribution
commits include an email address, but check out r10889, r10791,
r10773, r10690, r10389, r10217, r9894... among many others.
We simply cannot get mad at Stefan for failing to follow an
undocumented guideline that was always inconsistently applied.
The core of your complaint is about log formatting, and I agree Stefan
should start formatting the log messages in the usual style (and fix
the old ones). However, this hardly rises to the level of commit
access revocation -- and the fact that his mail bounced doesn't
amplify the offense, even if it did make your life a bit inconvenient.
Stefan, could you please fix your email address in COMMITTERS, fix up
this log message, and fix up previous log messages?
Thanks,
-Karl
