IMHO -shortlog needs support to read .mailmap, and maybe nods to throw out the built-in mailmap which is totally specific to the Linux kernel development. As for shallow clone support: I am a bit underwhelmed by the enthusiasm to test this thing by the people I thought would be most interested. It really could be the case that it is not needed at all. Just for the record, though: AFAICT the shallow stuff is lacking support for at least pushing from/into shallow repos and it should avoid making a commit shallow unnecessarily. And quite likely there are a few thinkos in it, so it would not hurt having more test cases (notably of things I did not think of), and some bad-ass testing with huge amounts of commits and files which were added/modified identically in different commits.
