Is this possible to have author screen name (visible in logs, blame etc) different than login?
It would be equivalent to hg [ui] username.
Multiple users are using same login to svn and I cant change this (sick, I know).
We use tortoise svn on windows.
You could reset all passwords in SVN server, reset login cache in Tortoise (Settings > Saved Data > Authentication data > Clear), and tell users not to auto-save user credentials. Since there are no passwords users would have to type in only their usernames.
Edit:
Revision’s author name is a property of revision than can be changed. TortoiseSVN > Show Log > right-click a revision > Edit author. You can put any string there. You only have to allow this editing with the hook. Hook’s path is
<your_repository>/hooks/pre-revprop-change.batand in the simplest and most careless way it could contain justexit 0and nothing more. This would allow editing all properties, like svn:author, svn:log, svn:date, and all the less important ones. If you want to allow only editing authors then take this script and replacesvn:logwithsvn:author.
