Subject: [PATCH v4] pretty: add "%aL" etc. to show local-part of email addresses
Message-ID: <20191029120914.14756-1-prarit@redhat.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20191029120914.14756-1-prarit%40redhat.com

```
In many projects the number of contributors is low enough that users know
each other and the full email address doesn't need to be displayed.
Displaying only the author's username saves a lot of columns on the screen.

Existing 'e/E' (as in "%ae" and "%aE") placeholders would show the
author's address as "prarit@redhat.com", which would waste columns to show
the same domain-part for all contributors when used in redhat-only
project.  Introduce 'l/L' placeholders that strip '@' and domain part from
the e-mail address.

Changes in v2:
- Changed option to 'L' based on https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
  definition of 'local-part' of email addresses.
- added additional information to documentation for %cL and %cl
- added mailmap output test
- modified code to use mailmap output for "L" option
- modified code to check if email address field has '@' symbol
- modified tests based on input from Peff

Changes in v3:
- Adjust Documentation descriptions for %aL and %cL
- remove exports of TEST* variables from test-lib.sh
- move testing to t6006 and t4203

Changes in v4:
- Change subject and patch description
- Update Documentation descriptions for %aL and %cL

No apologies needed; we are all human and not perfect, and I do
appreciate the pinging as I often end up saying "I didn't realize I
haven't picked it up".

Thanks.
