Some projects use a user system (e.g. user21) which makes it hard to see
who made the commit.

Adding a alias to a author would make this much easier.

    Wouldn't you want the alias to exist in the SVN repository?  If not already possible,
    perhaps should be an SVN enhancement request.

    Otherwise, is your plan to edit all this info in the CommitMonitor program? The latter
    doesn't seem like a feature many people would use.

    real name). But if people would use it I cannot say - I would.

    Hi there,
    I would very much appreciate this feature. Please find attached a screenshot with painful IT-scrambled authors :-(

    Aliases could show up as a simple additional column "alias".
    Data could be edited directly in the table or read from a text file, e.g. author-alias.csv with "author;alias" content.
    Impl could work with a Map<String;String>
    How can I help implementing it?
