Hi Andy!

Regarding "Changing the username in a transaction" - can you give me
examples for:
1. how to check author for specific file for all revisions.
2. how to change author for specific file for all revisions or at least
one revision.
IF
I would have such example:old username - a.smith ; new username -
alexander.smith ; target file at such path: /svn/project1/file.pls .
