Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Changing author of an already accepted change

[Juan Jose Martin Carrascosa <juanjo@xxxxxxx>]

Then it's OK. I just wanted to be coherent with everyone's changes.

I have done this in my machine, so in the future changes it appears correctly:

git config --global user.name "Juanjo Martin"

Thanks for the quick response!

Juanjo Martin

Unfortunately it's been written in stone at this point. There is
basically no way to modify history for a widely-distributed project
like this (amending that commit would cause all sorts of conflicts for
everybody who has a copy of the current git repository).

The best we can do is probably add a note to the AUTHORS file or something...
