D'oh, sorry, failed to check which was the one used in the last commits. I'm going to fix this, unless Adam actually prefers the current way the mapping is done. >> +Michel Dänzer <michel.daen...@amd.com> Michel Daenzer >> <michel.daen...@amd.com> >> +Michel Dänzer <michel.daen...@amd.com> Michel Daenzer >> <daenzer@localhost.(none)> >> +Michel Dänzer <michel.daen...@amd.com> <daen...@vmware.com> >> +Michel Dänzer <michel.daen...@amd.com> <mic...@daenzer.net> >> +Michel Dänzer <michel.daen...@amd.com> <mic...@tungstengraphics.com> > > In my case, you put my current employer's address first and my personal > and former employers' addresses last. The general pattern I've tried to follow in case of multiple email addresses has been to map everything to the most recent one, but in no particular order (the order is irrelevant). Apparently in some cases (such as Adam's) I messed up. :-) > What's the (intended) meaning of this mapping?

The mailmap intended purpose is to avoid having the same person appear multiple times in the output of things such as `git shortlog -s -n`. It doesn't specifically credit contributions to one's employer at a specific time. For _that_ kind of information, one would rather use something like `git dm`, for which you can add more sophisticated metadata about mapping users to companies over time, such as the one Kenneth shared with us: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~kwg/mesa/commit/?h=gitdm -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
