Uhm no that doesn't work. I had already tried that (or actually, the equivalent of adding these to .git/config) but it didn't make any difference
Is there something missing when using `git format-patch --keep-subject -o out origin` to generate the patch? This command is suggested on the gitWine page.
The information is added at commit time so it won't make any difference if you just run "git format-patch" after configuring the above settings, it matters what the settings were when you committed.
If you haven't committed anything since you can do: git reset HEAD^ git commit
And then enter your commit message again and this will create a new commit with the correct author information.
