I used the wonderful git filter-branch script to rewrite all author and committer emails. I even used --tag-name-filter cat to rewrite the tags:

git filter-branch --tag-name-filter cat --env-filter '
    if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "[email protected]"
    then
        [email protected]
    fi
    if test "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "[email protected]"
    then
        [email protected]
    fi
' -- --all

Everything seemed to work OK, except that the rewritten tags still have a "tagger" property with the email set to [email protected]. I read the [filter-branch documentation][1], yet I can't find anything similar to TAGGER_EMAIL.

How can I change the tagger email when updating the Git history?

  • You can't do this with `git filter-branch` as it has no tag *body* filter. (If you added a tag body filter, you could do it with `git filter-branch`, and perhaps you could get the Git community to take back this change. `--env-filter` applies only to commit objects, unfortunately.) Meanwhile see phd's link. – torek Aug 10 '18 at 18:13
