  core.authorsFile core.authorsFile

  this option represents a path to the authors mapping file or authors mapping helper program. The path is either relative to the Git repository or absolute. The default value isauthors file is situated in SubGit directory:

  No Format
  [core] authorsFile = subgit/authors.txt

  There may be more that one authorsFile option set in the file:

  No Format
  [core] authorsFile = subgit/authors.txt authorsFile = /etc/authors.txt

  All the mentioned files content is being merged into a full list. If an SVN username appears more than once – only its first occurrence will be applied. For example, if an SVN username johndoe appears in both authors files:

  No Format
  subgit/authors.txt johndoe = John Doe <johndoe@example.com> … /etc/authors.txt johndoe = John M. Doe <john_doe@example.com>

  In this case, the SVN name johndoe is being mapped to Git name John Doe <johndoe@example.com> as it appears first in the list.
