How is user mapping achieved during migration from MKS to SVN using svn-importer?

I have got a task to migrate MKS to SVN for some client. I am familiar with SVN and I used it for 4 years.

There is only one converter that I could find out in internet.
Its Free Subversion Data Migration Tool: Importer for SVN from Polarion Software
The documentation of the software is very good with clear explanation on mapping of concepts like Revisions, Branches, etc.

But the documentation doesn't mention anything about users mapping. It doesn't say how should it be done or managed. I could not find much info after searching through the internet.

Can anyone please let me know how the users are mapped from MKS to SVN and how should we achieve this?

  • http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/svn_importer_features.php#MKS

    The transformation preserves revisions, authors, commit messages and dates of commits

    If you check the source for org.polarion.svnimporter.mksprovider.internal.MksTransform

        /**
     * create a new SVN revision based on MksCommit
     * @param commit MksCommit object used to construct SVN revision
     */
private void createSvnRevision(MksCommit commit) {
    svnModel.createNewRevision(commit.getAuthor(), commit.getDate(), commit.getMessage());
    svnModel.getCurRevision().getProperties().set("MKSRevisionNumbers", commit.joinRevisionNumbers());
}
