Description Nitin Dahyabhai

Having just changed my email address, I now get 'Cannot assign user name "nitind" to account 276150; name already in use.' when trying to log back into Gerrit.

I've given the database a poke, can you login now?

The Gerrit UI now lets me log in, but I'm unable to push through gerrit (pulls work) as I have before:

Checking if it's my commit that's the problem.

No, a corrected Author value doesn't seem to make a difference.
