[PATCH] git-commit: search author pattern against mailmap
When committing for someone else, using the --author option, it can be nice to use the mailmap file to find the correct name spelling and email address. Currently, you would have to find the correct mapping in mailmap file first, and then use the full ident form when committing. Let's allow git-commit to find if an entry exists in mailmap file for that pattern, and use that instead. Signed-off-by: Antoine Pelisse apeli...@gmail.com --- Hi, I would use that feature at work where I happen to commit some work for other colleagues, while we heavily rely on mailmap file to have decent indents. On the other hand, I'm kind of embarrassed to add this new option to git-commit.

On the other hand, I'm kind of embarrassed to add this new option to git-commit. My initial reaction was Why should something as important as 'git commit' should be playing a guessing-game? ;-) and I am kind of ashamed to have added 146ea068 (git commit --author=$name: look $name up in existing commits, 2008-08-26) and then am embarrased to have completely forgotten about it. I never use the feature myself. But for that old and established --author parameter that does not use the standard format guesses feature to be useful, I agree that it should honor the mailmap. I wonder if it would hurt anybody if we made this unconditional, not even with --no-mailmap override? Opinions?

I wonder if it would hurt anybody if we made this unconditional, not even with --no-mailmap override? Opinions? I think it would be OK. You can always override by giving the actual full address you want instead of a partial one. OK, so how about labelling it as a bugfix, like this perhaps? We obviously need a test or two, though. -- 8 -- From: Antoine Pelisse apeli...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 15:48:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] commit: search author pattern against mailmap git commit --author=$name sets the author to one whose name matches the given string from existing commits, when $name is not in the Name e-mail format. However, it does not honor the mailmap to use the canonical name for the author found this way. Fix it by telling the logic to find a matching existing author to honor the mailmap, and use the name and email after applying the mailmap.

Also, after I sent out that like this patch, I realized that the mailmap string-list no longer has to be on the heap if we are doing it unconditionally (it can be an auto variable in the function, sitting next to struct strbuf buf). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
