[PATCH] shortlog: remove unused(?) "repo-abbrev" feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove support for the magical "repo-abbrev" comment in .mailmap
files. This was added to .mailmap parsing in [1], as a generalized
feature of the git-shortlog Perl script added earlier in [2].

There was no documentation or tests for this feature, and I don't
think it's used in practice anymore.

What it did was to allow you to specify a single string to be
search-replaced with "/.../" in the .mailmap file. E.g. for
linux.git's current .mailmap:

    git archive --remote=git@xxxxxxxxxx:linux-kernel/linux.git \
        HEAD -- .mailmap | grep -a repo-abbrev
    # repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/

Then when running e.g.:

    git shortlog --merges --author=Linus -1 v5.10-rc7..v5.10 | grep Merge

We'd emit (the [...] is mine):

      Merge tag [...]git://git.kernel.org/.../tip/tip

But will now emit:

      Merge tag [...]git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

I think at this point this is just a historical artifact we can get
rid of. It was initially meant for Linus's own use when we integrated
the Perl script[2], but since then it seems he's stopped using it.

Digging through Linus's release announcements on the LKML[3] the last
release I can find that made use of this output is Linux 2.6.25-rc6
back in March 2008[4]. Later on Linus started using --no-merges[5],
and nowadays seems to prefer some custom not-quite-shortlog format of
merges from lieutenants[6].

You will still see it on linux.git if you run "git shortlog" manually
yourself with --merges, with this removed you can still get the same
output with:

    git log --pretty=fuller v5.10-rc7..v5.10 |
    sed 's!/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/!/.../!g' |
    git shortlog

Arguably we should do the same for the search-replacing of "[PATCH]"
at the beginning with "". That seems to be another relic of a bygone
era when linux.git patches would have their E-Mail subject lines
applied as-is by "git am" or whatever. But we documented that feature
in "git-shortlog(1)", and it seems more widely applicable than
something purely kernel-specific.

I wondered what this repo-abbrev thing was while reading thorugh
recent mailmap.c traffic. I was a bit on the fence about this being a
RFC/PATCH, but I guess if people hate this & want to keep it that's
fine, but if not this should be ready for inclusion.

Surely has some conflicts with brian's recent submission, but I wanted
to get it out of my queue sooner than later.
