I'm not exactly sure how I would improve the patch you sent. I
remember Junio was not willing to move --use-mailmap option to
revision options and wanted to keep it just for "log" (though I don't
have a reference to that email).

I've tested the patch against the test-suite and have given a thorough
read to it, and I think it's fine.

Would you mind sending it as a proper patch ? I have nothing to add,
and I'm terrible at writing commit messages :-/
Or maybe someone else's opinion would be nice. I'm still not convinced
this is even necessary.

Thanks !
