Hi,
I note that when defining a .mailmap file, that it's honoured by git-shotlog(1) by default, but for git-log(1) I have to define an entirely new --pretty= formatting option to use it.
Why is this?  Why doesn't git-log honour this by default like git-shortlog does?
Would there be a way of making .mailmap be the default without needing a pretty option each time to redefine the default?
TIA!
Jason
