Hi Lutz!
Regarding "changing the usernames in commited revisions":
1. Is the exact command "svn propset svn:author --revprop -r xxx
new-author-name filespec" ? or do you mean something else with "svn
propset --revprop svn:author" ?
2. So I can change only if I specify http link in this command or path
to file from check-outed repository..... and there is no other way how
to change this name ?
3. Also could you provide example for how to show and then replace
usernames to some specific file for all revisions, if the old username
would be a.smith ; the new username would be alexander.smith and target
file would be lets say at such path: /svn/project1/file.pls ? ... so -
what should be the propset command for such situation and how (with what
syntax) to see that author has changed for specific revision.
