No, not really, other than using .mailmap
doesn't seem to be a popular practice, and, in my experience, most repos just don't have it, or if they do it is not maintained properly.
However, as you suggested, the change should be trivial as well as harmless with respect to the current functionality, and it will benefit teams (especially large ones) where effort and discipline had been put into maintaining such file.
I'll get it in soon and close this issue when it's done
@nlochschmidt I have published release 2.4.0
, which, amongst other things, updates the git log command to respect the .mailmap
file.
I'm going to close this issue, but if you still have problems with the author log information please create a new one.
Much appreciated. Thank you!
We are using a
.mailmap
file to fix wrong names and merge commits from the same user. Sadly, the.mailmap
file is currently being ignored by code-forensics.I think all it takes is to change the git log command from using
%an
to%aN
:Any reason not to use this?
