No recognized committer with that name

Hi,

I'm trying to add a position for the gloox project. Ohloh doesn't seem to see my commits in the history.

I worked in a seperate SVN branch, and this was later merged into the trunk.

svn log on the trunk directory does not show my commits, however svn log on the files I worked on does.

Is there something I can do? Maybe the solution is to replace the SVN URL to one that points to / (and therefore including /branches) instead of /trunk?

Hi Matt,

Sadly, I think you're out of luck here. If your name does not appear in the log, it will not appear on Ohloh.

There are two forces conspiring against you: first, that Subversion itself does not adequately report the provenance of files across merges (as revealed by your name not appearing in the trunk log), and secondly, that Ohloh is not very smart about following branches. It's conceivable that a very, very smart system could trace through all the history to discover your commits, but we're not there yet.

Someday I hope Subversion and Ohloh will be smart enough to do the right thing but it will be quite a while.

You could modify the URL to point to /, but this would impact the Ohloh report badly. Ohloh would end up overcounting the codebase size by a factor of about 8, since it looks like there are about that many branches.

Ouch, a pity.

Thanks for the clarification on it, all the same.
