revision: improve commit_rewrite_person() The function, commit_rewrite_person(), is designed to find and replace an ident string in the header part, and the way it avoids a random occurrence of "author A U Thor <author@example.com" in the text is by insisting "author" to appear at the beginning of line by passing "\nauthor " as "what". The implementation also doesn't make any effort to limit itself to the commit header by locating the blank line that appears after the header part and stopping the search there. Also, the interface forces the caller to make multiple calls if it wants to rewrite idents on multiple headers. It shouldn't be the case. To support the existing caller better, update commit_rewrite_person() to: - Make a single pass in the input buffer to locate headers named "author" and "committer" and replace idents on them. - Stop at the end of the header, ensuring that nothing in the body of the commit object is modified. The return type of the function commit_rewrite_person() has also been changed from int to void. This has been done because the caller of the function doesn't do anything with the return value of the function. By simplifying the interface of the commit_rewrite_person(), we also intend to expose it as a public function. We will also be renaming the function in a future commit to a different name which clearly tells that the function replaces idents in the header of the commit buffer.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
