svnsync breaks log

[rdeman]

I am using Trac with a mirror repository (this is b/c our corporate SVN server is hosted elsewhere, and as Trac needs file bindings, I am synchronizing a local copy for Trac using svnsync)

• I have followed the instructions for Explicit Synchronisation (found here: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracRepositoryAdmin#ExplicitSync )

The problem

The proxy-user that is used by svnsync (a read-only account to pull the SVN changes into the mirror repository) is the name that shows up in the logs and updates generated by the TracTicketChangesetsPlugin. Trac typically does this if you do not set the svn post-commit and post-revprop-change hooks up; ie the timeline would show the same (incorrect name).

• However I have set up the hooks correctly and its only this plugin that shows the proxy-svn sync user instead of the real user

That is an installation issue, not a TracTicketChangesetsPlugin issue. If you want to use svnsync, try to use post-revprop-change hook with svn:author revprop instead of post-commit hook. See ​t:comment:8:ticket:10128.

This plugin is deprecated in Trac 1.2 and later.

Please use TracTicketChangelogPlugin and request any missing features as enhancements for that plugin.
