History with proper git attribution

[DerDakon]

I took the freedom to take my import of the SVN history and rebase all your changes on top of that. Afterwards I did some small modifications to your history:

• use my original commit messages and dates for my patches
• change the authorship and commit message of some other patches, mainly those ones you picked from my Gentoo branch
• reflect these other contributors in the changelog as I don't want to take credit for their work
• combine your commit 9adce61 into 3328286 where that file was missed

You can find all that at https://github.com/DerDakon/vpopmail/tree/brunonymous-main

In case you want to switch your project to the new history please ping me, I can then give you instructions to switch the git history over.

Hi Rolf, thank you for your work. Patrice and I are interested in switching to the new history. Could you send us the instructions for switching to the new git history?

Sorry, I got distracted a little by real life.

I have attributed some more commits to different people, based on the Changelog file or what the commit message says. Please check if I have done something wrong or missed a patch.

When you are fine with that you can do the following steps to reset the history of the main branch:

cd /your/vpopmail/repo
git remote add Dakon https://github.com/DerDakon/vpopmail.git
git fetch Dakon
git switch main # if not already on that branch
git reset --hard Dakon/brunonymous-main # now your history is gone locally
git push --force # and now you have overwritten the history in your Github repo

If you have any questions just ask.
