[llvm-dev] Arcanist and git author names
Hi, Now that we actually do pushing via git, we can finally give proper attribution to patch authors that don't have commit access themselves. However, if fetching a patch using "arc patch D<number>", arc seems to use the Phabricator username as git author name, instead of the realname that Phabricator also does know and can display when viewing profiles. Is there any way to configure arc to get the proper full author name by default in "arc patch"? When applying others' patches, navigating to the user's profile and copypasting the name to "git commit --amend --author='Name <email>'" does work, but it's an unnecessary hurdle, and probably leads to inconsistency as everybody won't be doing it. // Martin
