I used "git log --reverse --all --format='...%aN;%aE;%cN;cE' and dumped the full history into a file. From there I analyze the file further with a small script that gets all email addresses out of the dump and more or less does a "uniq" call on names and mails giving an overview who used which alias. It seems as if the "@...kroa.org" addresses where just used when you acted as a "committer" not as "author". Maybe that's the reason why they never showed up in the commit logs? I added them since they were used/ I found them in git log and because they have a TLD (.org) - so I assumed that these are working addresses. -- 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/
