@benbe@social.chaotikum.org Yeah, if your old email contains your old name that's true. The old email is the only old info used for matching though, you don't separately have to add an old name But that is common at work, yeah. I basically added this today: ``` Brooke Hart ``` But I think in this case it's worth the enduring link. Means my old commits show up for everyone using the right name, when using tools like the Git Blame extension I use in VS Code at work Git really was not designed with "people might change their names" in mind, but I was glad to find this solution I could finally put in place at work today
