Put your git author in your git-svn commit messages (works great with `git pair`!)

README.md

This script will set up a hook to insert your git author information into the body of Subversion commit messages.

To set it up, cd into your favorite git-svn repository and run the following command:

bash < <( curl -s -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gonzedge/8447840ed0e5710eb228/raw/set-up-git-svn-hooks.sh )

Enjoy!
