[PATCH v3 0/4] Add support for mailmap in cat-file

Thanks a lot for the review and suggestions Junio, Danh and Johannes. Really grateful for that :)

= Description

This patch series adds mailmap support to the git-cat-file command. It adds the mailmap support only for the commit and tag objects by replacing the idents for "author", "committer" and "tagger" headers. The mailmap only takes effect when --[no-]-use-mailmap or --[no-]-mailmap option is passed to the git cat-file command. The changes will work with the batch mode as well.

So, if one wants to enable mailmap they can use either of the following commands: $ git cat-file --use-mailmap -p <object> $ git cat-file --use-mailmap <type> <object>

To use it in the batch mode, one can use the following command: $ git cat-file --use-mailmap --batch

= Patch Organization

- The first patch improves the commit_rewrite_person() by restricting it 
  to traverse only through the header part of the commit object buffer.
  It also adds an argument called headers which the callers can pass. 
  The function will replace idents only on these  passed headers. 
  Thus, the caller won't have to make repeated calls to the function.
- The second patch moves commit_rewrite_person() to ident.c to expose it
  as a public function so that it can be used to replace idents in the
  headers of desired objects.
- The third patch renames commit_rewrite_person() to a name which
  describes its functionality clearly. It is renamed to
  apply_mailmap_to_header().
- The last patch adds mailmap support to the git cat-file command. It
  adds the required documentation and tests as well.

Changes in v3:
- The decl-after-statement warnings have been fixed in all the patches.
- In commit_rewrite_person(), the data type of linelen and i variables
  have been changed from int to size_t.
- The return type of replace_idents_using_mailmap() function, size_t,
  has been explicitly typecasted to unsigned long using the
  cast_size_t_to_ulong() helper method.
