Map Monticello author names to git author names #147

Closed ThierryGoubier closed 9 years ago

ThierryGoubier commented 9 years ago

When importing Monticello repositories into Git, commiter and author names do not reflect the original author name in the Monticello package.

A way to map and add author names and emails to git commits should be provided, knowing that:

author names are kept in the monticello.meta/version metadata file writen and committed (so it's not lost).
some storage operations may result in a single commit for multiple packages, which does not allow for multiple author names in that commit.

API to map names to git: add a name and email via MCFileTreeGitRepository class>>#namesAt:put:email:; it will be used as the author name if the MC name matches the key.
