Well I believe/expect/hope that git's name+email-address transformation goes via a lookup in the kernel's .mailmap file. And the existing .mailmap appears to have taken care that all the "name" parts are in an MUA-usable form. There are no periods or commas. So if everyone had a .mailmap entry then - The Author: lines would all be MUA usable - The Author lines would all be in their owners' preferred form. I mean, converting "Morton, Andrew" into Morton, Andrew didn't improve things much. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
