7 A tool to create/update the mailmap file
9 The command 'git shortlog' summarizes git log output in a format suitable
10 for inclusion in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by
13 One problem is that the authors' name and/or email address is sometimes
14 spelled differently. The .mailmap feature can be used to coalesce together
15 commits by the same persion.
16 (See 'man git-shortlog' for furthur information of this feature.)
18 This tool helps to create/update the mailmap file.
20 It runs 'git shortlog' internally and searches differently spelled author
21 names which share the same email address. The author name with the most
22 commits is asuumed to be a canonical real name. If the number of commits
23 from the cananonical name is equal to or greater than 'MIN_COMMITS',
24 the entry for the cananical name will be output. ('MIN_COMMITS' is used
25 here because we do not want to create a fat mailmap by adding every author
26 with only a few commits.)
28 If there exists a mailmap file specified by the mailmap.file configuration
29 options or '.mailmap' at the toplevel of the repository, it is used as
30 a base file. (The mailmap.file configuration takes precedence over the
31 '.mailmap' file if both exist.)
33 The base file and the newly added entries are merged together and sorted
34 alphabetically (but the comment block is kept untouched), and then printed
42 prints the mailmapping to standard output.
44 scripts/mailmapper > tmp; mv tmp .mailmap
46 will be useful for updating '.mailmap' file.

54 # This limitation is used so as not to create a too big mailmap file.
