Re: [tcf-dev] tracking TCF contributions for IP log

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pawel,

Many thanks for double-checking.

Is the broken commit the most recent one ? Or fairly recent ? 
Then amending the author should be possible with acceptable effort, see the 3rd and 4th answer here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/750172/how-do-i-change-the-author-of-a-commit-in-git

For the future, Scott and Pawel please double check your Gerrit setup as per the instructions here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions#Gerrit

If you don't find a problem, please file a bug against Eclipse Community. 
Preserving the Author is very important, and I'm pretty sure that it usually works with Gerrit.

Thanks,
Martin
