[13:56:31 CDT(-0500)] <b-rock> based on the patch I submitted for the grouper stuff yesterday.
[14:45:02 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> EricDalquist ?
[14:45:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hi holdorph
[14:45:52 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> hey, i'm not sure if you knew or not, but Lennard isn't at Unicon right now, so him not having a github account is ok. It's a bummer for history purposes, but there's no way to make him create one right now 
[14:46:05 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> I'll try to track down pollizzoti and g. thompson though.
[14:46:44 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> by 'not at unicon' i mean, he quit and no longer works for unicon.
[14:46:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> right
[14:47:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so that isn't a huge deal the author mapping falls back on: https://github.com/Jasig/svn2git-migration/blob/master/resolvedAuthors.txt
[14:47:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which uses everyones crowd name/email
[14:47:26 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> yeah, but we still have high hopes he'll one day return
[14:47:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so if they create a github account later and then map the email from that file to their account it will "just work"
[14:48:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since git doesn't really have a central server there is no "username" per-say, it just uses your email address on the commits
[14:48:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and in github you list the email address(es) that are you for association purposes
[14:48:34 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> ok. seems reasonable to assume he'd get the same email address back
[14:48:54 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> i thought it was weird that github didn't authenticate your email addresses
[14:49:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> Matthew Polizzotti <mpolizzotti@unicon.net> and Gary Thompson <gthompson@unicon.net> are in the mapping file as well
[14:49:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[14:49:06 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> you can just put in whatever addresses you want that aren't already used.
[14:49:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I thought it strange as well
[14:49:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I wonder how they deal with conflicts
[14:49:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> also that branching model article you posted is very good
[14:49:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm going to link to it on the uportal lists after the migration tomorrow
[14:49:59 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> i think i got it from bill thompson.
[14:50:26 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> but i couldnt' find the original g+ post, so I just had to find it somewhere and repost it
[14:50:33 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> one of the best explanations of the value of git (from a developer/project management perspective) I've seen
[14:50:45 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> carl's followup article made some good points too, as long as you're using github
[14:50:59 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> i have one project that isn't using github, though....
[14:53:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah, it is still all doable then, just requires more work to track forks and stuff manually :/
