I may have three email addresses referred to in git, but my name is the same in all cases. Until "git shortlog" is changed to link an author's commits without using their name there is no need to include me and several other people in there. Especially not anyone with only one email address in the commit log. (It would also be easy to sha1 hash all the email addresses in the shortlog mailmap, using a hash lookup to find the name, although it would make it a bit difficult to find what any one address is without grepping the log.) The ChangeLogs do include all email addresses contributing to that release, but in general I think a big list of them which people can use with no effort to spam every developer is a bad thing. On the other hand maybe those people don't know what .files are ;) -- Simon Arlott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
