+NAME
+----
+git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w]
+'git shortlog' [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] [<committish>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
+in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and
+the first line of the commit message will be shown.
+
+Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-h::
+--help::
+ Print a short usage message and exit.
+
+-n::
+--numbered::
+ Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
+ of author alphabetic order.
+
+-s::
+--summary::
+ Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
+
+-e::
+--email::
+ Show the email address of each author.
+
+-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
+ Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first
+ line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
+ and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
+ `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
+
+
+MAPPING AUTHORS
+---------------
+
+The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
+person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
+spelled differently.
