Frequently when I'm looking at blocks of code in the blame viewer I want to know who is the culprit, or who I should be praising for a job well done. The tooltips nicely show this if I mouse over a block, but it doesn't work to get this detail at a glance. Since we don't use the leftmost commit column for anything after the first line within a commit group I'm now tossing the author's initials into that field, right justified. It is quite clearly not a SHA-1 number as we always show the SHA-1 in lowercase, while we explicitly select only the uppercase characters from an author's name field, and only those that are following whitespace. I'm using initials here over anything else as they are quite commonly unique within small development teams. The leading part of the email address field was out for some of the teams I work with, as there the email addresses are all of the form "Givenname.Surname@initech.com". That will never fit into the 4 characters available. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>maint
