Subject: [PATCH 3/3] commit: Show the committer ident when is different from the parent

From: Santi Béjar <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:47:16 +0200

To remind the committer ident in case it is not what you want
(taken from the gecos field, want to use different ident in
different repositories).

Hi,

  it does not work with the initial commit, I don't know why.
  Even with this:
	if (!commit)
		return NULL;

  Can someone help me? Thanks
