Identity-Map not working

[fwhenin]

Seems like the application is ignoring my identity-map file. I'm using the git-svn syntax in the file, and when i run svn-all-fast-export, it seems like it either thinks I'm not passing anything to that part or ignores it completely. any ideas?

Can you share a snippet from your file and the command you are using to run?

[fwhenin]

sorry about my late response... I followed the syntax for the git author file, and used the same exact command as the readme file had with --identity-map authors.txt. I ended up forking the repo, and changing all the dictionary of the authors to use string instead of a ByteArray, You can see it here

Hm, that is really strange. I also use the option and it is working properly here without your changes

Do you maybe have an MVCE to reproduce the problem? I really wonder why it works for me but not for you.

I too have this issue currently, but I've successfully used the tool previously in a different environment. The successful env was Ubuntu (ec2 instance created for the sole purpose) and the ignoring of the authors file is happening for me when trying on a centos7 box. (Different workplace meaning I can't use ec2). Do you have a centos box to check it on? Cheers

Also didn't work on an Ubuntu box. My next test will be to use an older version of this lib, back to when it worked for me

Ok resolved for me, I was using the wrong format for this file. I had previously used
"svnuser"="git user <user@acme.com>"
But looking at main.cpp I can see it relies on " = ". Changed to
svnuser = git user <user@acme.com>
and it worked! I have no idea why my previous style worked (and I'd changed to include quotes last time I used it, out of necessity). I submitted a PR to output an error message (not a c++ dev).
