Patch to make the above change

Per the ChangeLog-20011116 file in the gedit repo, Alex Roberts' name is Alex Roberts, not Alex Robert. Sample data from that file:

1998-03-05  Alex Roberts  <robo@earthling.net>

        * Started Log

The attached patch fixes a problem where his name has been mistakenly turned into Alex Robert. It should be easy to 'git am' it; I made it against current origin/master (1eec261b41589c62eaf98be41dd3684b01dcae51).



As a side note, today is Alex Roberts' birthday. Happy birthday, mralex/robo/bse/bovinity/alex!

On a personal note, I have a lot of love and respect for the gedit project. I've been using it on and off for a decade plus; I've written plugins for it and shared them on GNOME Live; and it's the editor of choice of friends and one I recommend frequently to people.


I'm hoping this can be committed in a timely fashion. Let me know if there's any other information I can provide.

This looks trivial enough to hand out "accepted commit now", if not, gedit developers please beat me up! Asheesh, do you have commit rights?
Comment 2 Asheesh Laroia 2014-02-05 16:43:58 UTC 
Thanks for the super speedy response!

Right now, I don't have commit rights in gedit.
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2014-02-05 22:01:11 UTC 
To be honest I doubt there is any line left originally written by Alex ;)


Anyway sure, I pushed your patch
