Thanks a lot Junio, Taylor and Christian for the review :) I have made the suggested changes. = Description At present, `git-cat-file` command with `--batch-check` and `-s` options does not complain when `--use-mailmap` option is given. The latter option is just ignored. Instead, for commit/tag objects, the command should compute the size of the object after replacing the idents and report it. So, this patch series makes `-s` and `--batch-check` options of `git-cat-file` honor mailmap when used with `--use-mailmap` option. In this patch series we didn't want to change that '%(objectsize)' always shows the size of the original object even when `--use-mailmap` is set because first we have the long term plan to unify how the formats for `git cat-file` and other commands works. And second existing formats like the "pretty formats" used bt `git log` have different options for fields respecting mailmap or not respecting it (%an is for author name while %aN for author name respecting mailmap). I would like to thank my mentors, Christian Couder and John Cai, for all of their help! Looking forward to the reviews! = Patch Organization - The first patch makes `-s` option to return updated size of the <commit/tag> object, when combined with `--use-mailmap` option, after replacing the idents using the mailmap mechanism. - The second patch makes `--batch-check` option to return updated size of the <commit/tag> object, when combined with `--use-mailmap` option, after replacing the idents using the mailmap mechanism. - The third patch improves the documentation of `-s`, `--batch`, `--batch-check` and `--batch-command` options by adding they can be combined with `--use-mailmap` options. = Changes in v4 - Improve the documentation patch to clearly state that the `-s`, `--batch-check`, `--batch-command` and `--batch` options can be only be used with `--textconv`, `--filters` or `--use-mailmap`.
