People change email addresses quite often and sometimes forget to
add their entry to the mailmap file. I have contacted lots of
people, whose name occurs multiple times in the short log having
different email addresses. The entries in the mailmap of this patch
are either confirmed by them or are trivial. Trivial means
different capitalisation of the domain (@MIT.EDU and @mit.edu) or
the domain was localhost, (none) or @local.
Additionally to adding (name, email) mappings to the .mailmap file,
it has also been sorted ("LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sort", byte-value sort).
While the most changes happen at the email addresses, we also have a
name change in here. Karl Hasselström is now known as Karl Wiberg
due to marriage. Congratulations!
To find out whom to contact I used the following small
script:
#!/bin/bash
git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d > mailmapdoubles
while read line ; do
# remove leading whitespace
trimmed=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
echo "git shortlog -sne | grep \""$trimmed"\""
done < mailmapdoubles > mailmapdoubles2
sh mailmapdoubles2
rm mailmapdoubles
rm mailmapdoubles2
Also interesting for similar tasks are these snippets:
# Finding out duplicates by comparing email addresses:
git shortlog -sne |awk '{ print $NF }' |sort |uniq -d
# Finding out duplicates by comparing names:
git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
