So, you suggesting that somehow git saves the ID of the user that created
the repo? Never would have thought about that, .. did a quick grep -r <old
user> in dbtcp, and none found?

If that is true, how does one change the user in git? I'm pretty sure the
only place any ID is saved is an email address, right?

[dbtcp letter transpositions are all on me - the actual paths have been
verified.]
