It can be done by using « git filter-branch ».  This is what I used when I converted from cvs.
Beware that since the author is part of the hash calculation, changing it would make a different a different history.  So if you have references outside of your repo that refers directly to hash code, they will no longer be valid.

Hi folks,

at some point in the past I migrated several subversion repos to git. Although everything is working, there is a minor annoyance left. Author entries in current commits from me look like this:

Author: Maik Musall <email@hidden>

while commits from before the migration look like this:

Author: maik <maik@f954726d-a12f-0410-a0f4-afcb570274bb>

I know there are ways to configure git-svn before doing the migration to cope with that [1], but I didn't know that at the time. Do I have any options to change the old author entries to match the current ones so that they don't look like different authors? I suppose I can dig into the .git files somewhere, but I'm not comfortable doing that on my own.

Thanks
Maik

Dang, forgot the footnote.
