.mailmap: tolerate different names, emails in shortlog
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Write a conservative .mailmap as an example for contributors to write
their preferred names/ email addresses to.  This patch makes no
assumptions about the same author using different email addresses, and
only collects cases where the full-name of the person is spelt
differently for the same email address.  Verify with:

  $ git shortlog -se | cut -f 2 | cut -d\< -f 2 | sort | uniq -d

It only assumes that the author prefers the full-name that appears
dominantly, by number of contributions.

For the purposes of merging, a strictly alphabetical ordering is
advised.  See MAPPING AUTHORS section of git-shortlog(1) to understand
the format of this file.

# This list is used by git-shortlog to aggregate contributions. It is
# necessary when either the author's full name is not always written
# the same way, and/or the same author contributes from different
# email addresses.
