[vtk-developers] gerrit question

[Chris Harris]

Hi John,

The author is important thing to preserve so the easiest think for you todo
is change the commiter to yourself. If the the commit is the last commit on
your branch this should do it for you:

git commit --amend --author="Name Here <nwaldin at cscs.ch>"

( replace Name Here with intern name )

You will then be the commiter so gerrit will be happy, but your intern will
be the author.

Hope that helps,

Chris
