Classes:	ReassignEdits

reassignEdits.php is a maintenance script located in the maintenance directory that reassigns edits from a user or IP address to another user.

Usage: php reassignEdits.php [--force|--quiet|--norc|--report] <from> <to>

<from> : username or IP address to assign edits from

<to> : username to assign edits to

--force : reassign even if the target user doesn't exist

--quiet : don't print status information (except for errors)

--norc : don't update the recent changes table

--report : print out details of what would be changed, but don't update it

Note: spaces inside a username must be replaced with underscores ( _ )

Bug: Currently (MW 1.19.1) the script is not updating the file history, that is, fields img_user and img_user_text from the Image table. See the discussion for a workaround.
