With the line Philippe suggested, the rewrite will happen any time the original email is seen. With this line, the rewrite will only happen if both original name + email match. In practice this is functionally the same, unless someone had variations in the spelling of their real name over time, so either would work. > Feels a bit like cheating, though...? I wouldn't call it cheating. It is just an input for canonicalizing contributors' identities, where there were changes in name or email over time. It gives a more useful view to tools like 'git shortlog' and 'git-dm' stats reports, such that all work over time will be grouped together instead of split.
