The\npatch author name (excluding e-mail part) is used for summarizing, and\nthis allows the same person to send patches under more than one e-mail\naddress and still count these patches as authored by one person.\n\nYour name however can appear more than once in different spellings, if you\nsent patches using different human-readable names on From: line of your\npatch submission from the same (or different) e-mail address. E.g. these\ntwo patches are counted under different authors:\n\n\tAuthor: A. U. Thor \n Date: Wed Jul 09:23:06 2008 -0700\n\n\tThe first patch...\n\n Author: A U Thor \n Date: Wed Jul 09:23:07 2008 -0700\n\n\tThe second patch...\n\nThere is a \"mailmap\" mechanism to consolidate them; it allows us to\nspecify what human-readable name should be used for given e-mail address.\nThe hypothetical Mr. Thor might want to say \"I am A. U. Thor; some commits\nfrom me, , are marked without abbreviating periods in\nmy name\", and we can add this entry to the toplevel .mailmap file to fix\nit:\n\n\tA. U. Thor \n\nIt tells the shortlog (and --pretty=format:%aN in recent enough git)\nmechanism to give huma readable name \"A. U. Thor\" anytime it sees\n e-mail address, regardless of what the Author:\nheader in the commit object says.\n\nIf your name appears more than once in the output from the \"shortlog\"\ncommand at the beginning of this message, you may want to tell me to fix\nit.\n\nThanks.\n"},{"id":"83689","messageId":"alpine.DEB.1.00.0807171455230.8986@racer","threadId":"14503","inReplyTo":"7v8ww0j4ye.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org","subject":"[PATCH] Add a few names to the mailmap","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2008-07-17T13:56:18Z","receivedAt":"2008-07-17T13:56:18Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Schindelin \n---\n\n\tI hope that my mailer does not break UTF-8 encoded names...\n\n .mailmap | 8 ++++++++\n 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n\ndiff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap\nindex f88ae77..ca2e17e 100644\n--- a/.mailmap\n+++ b/.mailmap\n@@ -5,22 +5,28 @@\n # same person appearing not to be so.\n #\n \n+Alexander N.
