bzr-svn question?

[Fanelli, Paul]

Jelmer,

I got it to work, but I think what I want may be an enhancement.

I set the pre-revprop-change hook to just 'exit 0', to allow any change.
I then set the 'override-svn-revprops = svn:author' in the
.bazaar/subversion.conf file (I also tried setting it in the
.bazaar/bazaar.conf file - and it seems to work there also).

Now the committer of the change is set in the svn:author property and I
can see it when I run 'svn log'.

But the problem is that I am using pqm as an automated gatekeeper and I
see the svn:author as 'SQA Auto Test <autotest at cuda>', which is the user
running pqm (and not the actual user who made the change and submitted
it to pqm). I guess this is correct and the intended behavior.

Would it be possible to extract out the bzr author information when
bzr-svn commits the change to svn? The author of the change (the guy
running the 'bzr pqm-submit' command) could use the --author option to
set who the actual author of the change is?

Regards,
Paul
