Aggregating Authors
In some repositories authors may have committed with differing name/email combinations.
In order to prevent the output being split it is possible to aggregate authors on
arbitrary elements by providing a file .mailmap in the repository's root directory.
This is a feature of Git itself. The following example will aggregate the contributions
of Jane Doe committed under two email addresses:
# .mailmap
Jane Doe <jane.doe@company.com> <jane.doe@private-email.com>
This will map commits made with the private-email.com to the company address. For more details
and further options (e.g. mapping between different names or misspellings etc. see the
git-blame documentation.
