I use subgit to import a svn repository to a local git.

$ subgit import --authors-file authors.txt https://foobar.com:8443/svn/project/ gitproject.git

Unfortunately, the users apper in my gitlab as: 

svnuser@localhost

I noticed that the authors.txt in the gitproject.git is only an empty file with the introductory header.

Even though in the log-file there is a correct authors.txt (copied full path and opened in explorer): 

authorsFile = C:/foo/bar/authors.txt

I tried several ways to set username = foo bar <user.name@foo.bar>like it is written in the git-users-mapping but no change. If the wrong format is used, will the real authors.txt be empty?

How can I make subgit take my authors.txt file?

    I've got a question have you fulfilled the authors file with the actual svn-to-git users mapping? and whether the authors.txt file in the command is the correct path to the file? – ildar.hm Feb 20 '20 at 11:39
  • The users mapping should be fulfilled. I also tried svn user_name or user_name@localhost but it didn't work. Also the file path is correct. See latest edit for clarifications. – JaBe Feb 20 '20 at 14:38

A possible workaround is to use import with preliminary configuration. For this, first run the 'configure' command:

subgit configure --svn-url https://foobar.com:8443/svn/project gitproject.git

then edit gitproject.git/subgit/authors.txt and fulfill it with actual users mapping. After that run the import:

subgit import gitproject.git

This file would definitely work.
