How to update user email in git repo cloned from SVN

Question

I cloned my SVN repo to GIT. When I did it I pointed file with user names.

user1 = User1 <user1@mail.com>
user2 = User2 <user2@mail.com>

Then I updated to github. All users are recognised except one. I discovered that I made speling mistake in email.

I used this method git --filter-branch.

And it changed this user mail successfully. But now when i push to github it sais it is up-to-date and do not want to update user email on github.

How do I update it?

Is your github repo public and can you post a link? – Chronial Nov 14 '12 at 12:32 — Chronial, Nov 14 '12 at 12:32

You can fix it from another side:

GitHub user may have more than one e-mail, all e-mails will be linked to correct user in commits (AFAICS)

That is true but email it turned to be assigned is not accessible. I men there is even whitespace. There was list of users and I missed it somehow one user was `user - User ` – Sergey Romanov Nov 14 '12 at 11:13
