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.

Ciao,
Dscho
