From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 18:18:00 GMT Subject: [PATCH] mailmap: consistently normalize brian m. carlson's name Message-ID: <20180917181800.GA140909@aiede.svl.corp.google.com> In-Reply-To: <20180522224215.GI652292@genre.crustytoothpaste.net> v2.18.0-rc0~70^2 (mailmap: update brian m. carlson's email address, 2018-05-08) changed the mailmap to map sandals@crustytoothpaste.ath.cx -> brian m. carlson instead of sandals@crustytoothpaste.net -> brian m. carlson That means the mapping Brian M. Carlson -> brian m. carlson is redundant, so we can remove it. More importantly, it means that the identity "Brian M. Carlson " used in some commits is not normalized any more. Add a mapping for it. Noticed while updating Debian's Git packaging, which uses "git shortlog --no-merges" to produce a list of changes in each version, grouped by author's (normalized) name.

Probably so. Sorry to leave this hanging for so long. How about this patch?
