What is so wrong with _not_ using -e (since you do not want to see the email address stored in the commit message, and -e would be asking for that _exactly_)? After the fact, you can annotate the names with all you like. For example, the most recent email address for that person. But as Mark pointed out, the name might be a bad key. Maybe you will have to do something completely different, namely maintain a separate list of (correct) names and emails, and then having line numbers in .mailmap, like: 1 <davem@sunset> 1 <davem@sunrise> 1 <davem@moonshine> 2 <dave.miller@xxxxxxxxxx> 2 <dave.miller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> etc However, I have to say that I see small value in that, and an inordinate amount of work that nobody wants to do.
