Hi, everybody!
As part of my improvements to difflame I want to use revision
information as provided by blame --line-porcelain so that I can avoid
some git calls to cat-file -p to get revision information hoping that
information would be a match. However I'm not finding that to be the
case.
$ git blame --no-progress -w --line-porcelain -L 72,72
4e59582ff70d299f5a88449891e78d15b4b3fabe -- t/lib-submodule-update.sh

If we then take a look at the information on that revision using
cat-file -p on the revision:
$ git cat-file -p 3290fe6dd2a7e2bb35ac760443335dec58802ff1

(which, just in case, resembles the information provided by git
show... but is simpler to parse with cat-file).
Committer mails are matching, however author mail does not match
between line-porcelain and cat-file. Is there a reason for that?
Thanks in advance.
