Hi,

Don't forget to set your name and email address for (local) git commits
through:

$ git config --global user.name "Mark Wielaard"
$ git config --global user.email "mwielaard@redhat.com"

[You can set it for a local git repo to something different by omitting
the --global flag]

Or by adding something like the following to your ~/.gitconfig file:

$ cat ~/.gitconfig 
[user]
        name = Mark Wielaard
        email = mwielaard@redhat.com

That makes sure that not just the ChangeLog, but also the git commit
changeset has the right author set.

Cheers,

Mark
