New submission from Volker Kleinfeld <Volker.Kleinfeld at gmx.de>:
In case git has an empty author field, convert-repo uses the converters email
address as authors name in the generated hg repo. See:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=af25e94d4dcfb9608846242fabdd4e6014e5c9f0
http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6/rev/36354f67c161
Not sure if mercurial can handle an empty author field at all, but perhaps we
could just use a default string such as "MISSING", so conversions performed by
different users yield the same results.
