[TUHS] BSD question: Kurt Shoens, or Kurt Schoens?

[TUHS] BSD question: Kurt Shoens, or Kurt Schoens?

[Steffen Nurpmeso]

Hello.

Even in these rusty times (oh what complicated chemical processes
there are!) a question that i hope someone can answer.

In both Spinellis' UNIX history repo as well as the CSRG one (via
robohack/ucb-csrg-bsd.git) one can find two ways of writing Kurt
Shoen's name, and whereas i, who always refer to Mail and its
"usr.bin/mail/def.h" (aac48ec10b56f59b321fb033a36bca2114ef061b):

[ Author:     Kurt Shoens <kas>
  AuthorDate: 1980-10-08 08:53:34 -0800]

  + * Author: Kurt Shoens (UCB) March 25, 1978

one can find the name "Kurt Schoens" as early as 4.2 BSD (curses,
twinkle1), and then in a growing number of files, especially after
1993 when Keith Bostic and then Kirk McKusick did

  admin/admin/contrib/address.list and
  admin/admin/contrib/contrib and
  share/man/man0/title.cdrom

But one can also see the commit

  Author:     Kurt A. Schoens <kas@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>
  AuthorDate: 1980-10-09 02:48:47 -0800

and that is strange, as i presume all-automatic version control
conversions here?  Schoens .. is a bug?

Thank you.

His wife's email told me "shoens".

I did a lookup in the American Mathematical Society database for
Schoens and Shoens; only the latter is found, in this article

	Data sufficiency for queries on cache
	Oded Shmueli and Kurt Shoens
	Information Processing Letters 65(4) 209--216, 27 February 1998
	https://doi.org/10.1016/S0020-0190(97)00205-6

The PDF file has "Shoens" as well.

In

	Diomidis Spinellis
	A repository of {Unix} history and evolution
	Empirical Software Engineering 22(3) 1372--1404 June 2017
	https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-016-9445-5

the article body also has "Shoens".

In the TeX User Group bibliography archives, I find 7 entries
with the spelling "Shoens", and none with "Schoens".

Thank you very much for your effort, Mr. Beebe.

Thank you, a Polly (reiterating Kirk McKusicks enthusiastic commit
of 1993 that i have seen several times in the last hours) is
naturally always fully trustworthy.

git filter-branch and .mailmap could do a bit i think.
And NetBSD has five files to fix, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFly
(still alive) are all fine out.

(Personally coming in via Polly Jean Harvey, a British woman, on
battered books and fog rolling down behind the mountains.)

Ciao from Germany!!
