Specify a descriptive user name in the SVN commit message

Is there a way to configure the SVN client to use a descriptive full name for the user making a commit instead of the log-in user name?

I found that default configuration file that is being used by the SVN client at

%AppData%\Roaming\Subversion\config

but it is still not clear how to achieve that. I hoped there will be an entry like

[User]
Jo Do

but there isn't.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • No. Subversion always records the name of the user account committing the change. If you need a more descriptive name, change your account names, or script your other processes that look at the log history to change it for display purposes on the fly.
