.mailmap: Map email addresses to names
People change email addresses quite often and sometimes forget to add their entry to the mailmap file. I have contacted lots of people, whose name occurs multiple times in the short log having different email addresses. The entries in the mailmap of this patch are either confirmed by them or are trivial. Trivial means different capitalisation of the domain (@MIT.EDU and @mit.edu) or the domain was localhost, (none) or @local. Additionally to adding (name, email) mappings to the .mailmap file, it has also been sorted ("LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sort", byte-value sort). While the most changes happen at the email addresses, we also have a name change in here. Karl Hasselström is now known as Karl Wiberg due to marriage. Congratulations! To find out whom to contact I used the following small script: #!/bin/bash git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d > mailmapdoubles while read line ; do # remove leading whitespace trimmed=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g') echo "git shortlog -sne | grep \""$trimmed"\"" done < mailmapdoubles > mailmapdoubles2 sh mailmapdoubles2 rm mailmapdoubles rm mailmapdoubles2 Also interesting for similar tasks are these snippets: # Finding out duplicates by comparing email addresses: git shortlog -sne |awk '{ print $NF }' |sort |uniq -d # Finding out duplicates by comparing names: git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
