It's another merge window later for the kernel, and I just re-applied
this patch to my git tree because I still want to know teh committer
information rather than the authorship information, and it still seems
to be the simplest way to do that.
Jeff had apparently done something similar as part of a bigger
patch-series, but I don't see that either. I really don't care very
much how this is done, but I do find this very useful, I do things
like
git shortlog -cnse linus..next |
head -20 |
cut -f2 |
sed 's/$/,/'
to generate a nice list of the top-20 committers that I haven't gotten
pull requests from yet.
Yes, I can just maintain this myself, and maybe nobody else needs it,
but it's pretty simple and straightforward, and there didn't seem to
be any real reason not to have the option..
