I suspect that that old name-address pair corresponds to these one or both of these changes: $ cd old && git grep -B6 James.Youngman sh-utils/ChangeLog-1999-01-31 Jim Meyering <[email protected]> sh-utils/ChangeLog- sh-utils/ChangeLog- * doc/sh-utils.texi: Wrap the @top node in @ifnottex instead of sh-utils/ChangeLog- @ifinfo so `makeinfo --html ...' works. From Karl Berry. sh-utils/ChangeLog- sh-utils/ChangeLog- * src/chroot.c (main): Call chdir ("/") after chroot. sh-utils/ChangeLog: Suggestion from James Youngman. textutils/ChangeLog- (usage): Update help string. textutils/ChangeLog- (main): Handle the special options --pages and --columns. textutils/ChangeLog- textutils/ChangeLog-1998-08-02 Jim Meyering <[email protected]> textutils/ChangeLog- textutils/ChangeLog- * lib/linebuffer.c (readline): Return zero upon error as well as upon textutils/ChangeLog: end of file. From James Youngman. When I merged (in cvs terms) those three packages, the files with identical names (like THANKS,v) lost history. I think the one from fileutils kept its history, in this case. However, I added entries in THANKS merely to map each name-only reference in the ChangeLog to an email address, so you can find the actual commits that added your name in the ChangeLog to see when/why that old address was added. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
