These property values override any values The server looks up the extended author fieldsthrough some mechanism not defined here,using the value of the"svn:author" property as a key. The server may cache the results, provided that there is a way for the administrator to make the server use updated information.
Just wondering: a lookup approach, does that address the original
problem that started this whole discussion? I.e.: how to avoid the
information loss when importing from GIT into a Subversion repository?
Since GIT has those additional attributes (display name and email
address?) annotated with every commit, a lookup approach is in general
not sufficient to store this information ...
Not important I think, but I'm just noting the discrepancy ...
