git log.

You can map SVN usernames to author names with the --authors-file
option.  I've attached my file.  I don't know why I used @example.org
then; @users.sourceforge.net would make more sense.

Also, Paul might want a different spelling of his name?

Hopefully you are importing from a local copy of the SVN repository :)

My import has a mistake.  There are hundreds of commits falsely credited
to me because of backports.  Most of them have an extra "From:" line in
the log message indicating the original author.  git svn has an option
--use-log-author to use that as the real author.  It would be nice to
get it right in the import.
