I'd recommend you to also add an entry in .mailmap:

Hu, I didn’t know there is such a thing. Looks like I could even do
Hanna Reitz <hre...@redhat.com> Max Reitz <mre...@redhat.com>
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.
Ah, yes, I somehow believed that not specifying the old name would just
replace the email address. You’re right.
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.
Alright.
Hanna
