GitHub oops...
So I realized that when I imported all my stuff to GitHub I spaced on setting the svn.authorsfile on a few. So I deleted and reimported them from svn.
If there’s a better way to fix that kind of thing, somebody let me know.

There is no better way. The author name is one of the items that go into generating the SHA1 commit ID. So changing the author name after the fact is not possible unless someone knows a way to re-write all the commit objects w/ a new author name (like a rebase w/ different author). More work than simply re-importing from the beginning. In both cases you’d have to force an overwrite of your github refs with ‘git push origin +master’ (and other branches if applicable)

You can set the author using git commit—author blah.
