Hi,
I noticed a bug when analysing SVN ::log ::retrieve using svn command line : all commits done by a user whose name contains '-' are not parsed.
I had to change line 212 of SVN-Log-0.03 / lib / SVN / Log.pm to set this particular regexp:
my $headrule = qr/r(\d+) \| ((\w|-)+) \| (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})/;
Searching for a more general correction, it seems that Unix usernames regexp might be [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[\$]? . Source for it is man page of the useradd linux command (according to this page: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/157426/what-is-the-regex-to-validate-linux-users).
Regards,
SF
