From 4b42d1720c1828b23fb499277c6f462dff1c74ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Beams Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 09:23:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add .mailmap with entries for top committers This commit adds a .mailmap file as described in the `git shortlog` manpage, normalizing names and email addresses for several top committers. For context, see the conversation between @cbeams and @harding at https://twitter.com/cbeams/status/967491714335297536. Entries in a .mailmap like those found in this commit eliminate the need to manually "combine multiple entries" for authors like @wbinns who have had commits with varying author metadata over time. Ultimately, the purpose is to make the output of `git shortlog` as concise and accurate as possible. Compare the results of `git shortlog -nse` before and after this commit to see the difference it makes. --- .mailmap | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .mailmap diff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d93db01d --- /dev/null +++ b/.mailmap @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +David A.
