good question. Bitkeeper was only able to handle the user part of the
address. Maybe we can make cg-log a little bit more intelligent. We also
have the author and the committer. My idea would be to use -A for the
author and -C for the committer and maybe -U to search in both. If the
value contains and "@" it should search in the email address part and
otherwise in the username portion. Some regular expression stuff like
"^marcel" (case insensitive) would also be great.

I have no idea how to realize it, but would be thankful for such an
option. It is one of the last pieces that I miss.

Regards

Marcel
