The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same

real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the

person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
|

spelled differently.

<proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>

--

|

Proper Name <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>
|
|

which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a

|

commit matching the specified commit email address, and

Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx>
|
|

which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a
|

commit matching both the specified commit name and email address.

Example 1: Your history contains commits by two authors, Jane
|
|
||||||
and Joe, whose names appear in the repository under several forms:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
Joe Developer <joe@example.com>
|
|
||||||
Joe R. Developer <joe@example.com>
|
|
||||||
Jane Doe <jane@example.com>
|
|
||||||
Jane Doe <jane@laptop.(none)>
|
|
||||||
Jane D. <jane@desktop.(none)>
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now suppose that Joe wants his middle name initial used, and Jane
|
|
||||||
prefers her family name fully spelled out. A proper `.mailmap` file
|
|
||||||
would look like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
Jane Doe <jane@desktop.(none)>
|
|
||||||
Joe R. Developer <joe@example.com>
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note how we don't need an entry for <jane@laptop.(none)>, because the
|
|
||||||
real name of that author is correct already, and coalesced directly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Example 2: Your repository contains commits from the following
|
|
||||||
authors:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
nick1 <bugs@company.xx>

nick2 <bugs@company.xx>

|
||||||
nick2 <nick2@company.xx>

santa <me@company.xx>
|
|
||||||
claus <me@company.xx>
|
|
||||||
CTO <cto@coompany.xx>
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then, you might want a `.mailmap` file looking like:
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
Some Dude <some@dude.xx> nick1 <bugs@company.xx>

||||||
Other Author <other@author.xx> <nick2@company.xx>
|
|
||||||
Santa Claus <santa.claus@northpole.xx> <me@company.xx>
|
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use hash '#' for comments that are either on their own line, or after
|
|
||||||
the email address.
