.mailmap: tolerate different names, emails in shortlog
Write a conservative .mailmap as an example for contributors to write their preferred names/ email addresses to. This patch makes no assumptions about the same author using different email addresses, and only collects cases where the full-name of the person is spelt differently for the same email address. Verify with: $ git shortlog -se | cut -f 2 | cut -d\< -f 2 | sort | uniq -d It only assumes that the author prefers the full-name that appears dominantly, by number of contributions. For the purposes of merging, a strictly alphabetical ordering is advised. See MAPPING AUTHORS section of git-shortlog(1) to understand the format of this file.
