HawkOwl showed me a neat trick.

You can add your git-svn-generated committer ID as an email address to your github account, and you'll start getting credit for all your old commits.

To get this ID, go into your git checkout and do something like:

GIT_PAGER=cat git log --format=%ae -n 1 --author=glyph

Except instead of "glyph" put your own name in there.  (You can get this out of the github UI too but the only place I saw was in a tooltip which makes copying and pasting annoying.)

Then go to https://github.com/settings/emails <https://github.com/settings/emails> and add paste the email into a box.

Please be nice and only do this for your own committer ID, since obviously bbbe8e31-12d6-0310-92fd-ac37d47ddeeb isn't a domain that github can send verification messages to :-).
