How can I change the svn committer after i have already done?

We moved our svn repository to another server, and in the messy mess, we realized that we managed to somehow kill all the users, and each of them made an anonymous day for a day or two!

I know how to change the commit message ( svn propedit -r 123 --revprop svn:log /path/to/repos ), but is there a way to change the actual user who committed the commit?

You are changing the user by changing the svn: author revision property instead of svn: log.

Note that you need to make sure your hook with pre-revprop-change allows this.
