If you want to see what the full patch would look like, you can fetch it
from:
git://github.com/peff/git.git jk/doc-credits
The patch itself is rather large, so I didn't want to post it. I don't
know if we should extract the list of people who are being dropped and
check if they have any objection. You can get a partial list with:
git show jk/doc-credits^ |
grep ^- |
perl -lne 'print for /<(.*?)>/g' |
sort -u
though some people are mentioned only by name, not by email.
