I successfully converted out svn to git. The problem is that we entered wrong emails for the commit authors. Is it possible to change the email address in git commit’s author?

    git filter-branch is what you’re looking for. It’s not for the faint of heart, though, and will potentially change all commits of your repository which is a bad thing if you already published the repository.

    git filter-branch --env-filter 'if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" == "old@email"]; then export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="new@email"; fi' -- --all
    

    This should rewrite the history of all available refs (hence, --all), replacing all commit authors’ email addresses that match “old@email” with “new@email.”
