2021-01-12mailmap doc: start by mentioning the comment syntaxLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+3
Mentioning the comment syntax and blank line support first is in line with how "git help config" describes its format. See b8936cf060 (config.txt grammar, typo, and asciidoc fixes, 2006-06-08) for the paragraph I'm copying & amending from its documentation.

2021-01-12mailmap doc: quote config variables `like.this`Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
Quote the mailmap.file and mailmap.blob configuration variables as `mailmap.file` and `mailmap.blob`, and link to git-config(1). This is in line with the preferred way of doing this in the rest of our documentation. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-01-12mailmap doc: create a new "gitmailmap(5)" man pageLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+108
Create a gitmailmap(5) page similar to how .gitmodules and .gitignore have their own pages at gitmodules(5) and gitignore(5). Now instead of "check-mailmap", "blame" and "shortlog" documentation including the description of the format we link to one canonical place. This makes things easier for readers, since in our manpage or web-based[1] output it's not clear that the "MAPPING AUTHORS" sections aren't subtly different, as opposed to just included. 1. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-mailmap Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
