The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME

----
|
|
git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w]
|
|
'git shortlog' [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] <commit>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
|
|
in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and
|
|
the first line of the commit message will be shown.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
|
|
|
|
If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input
|
|
is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will
|
|
output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
|
|
reference to the current repository.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-h::
|
|
--help::
|
|
Print a short usage message and exit.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
--numbered::
|
|
Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
|
|
of author alphabetic order.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--summary::
|
|
Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
--email::
|
|
Show the email address of each author.
|
|
|
|
--format[=<format>]::
|
|
Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
|
|
describe each commit. '<format>' can be any string accepted
|
|
by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '{asterisk} [%h] %s'.
|
|
(See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
|
|
|
|
Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
|
|
|
|
-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
|
|
Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first
|
|
line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
|
|
and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
|
|
`indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAPPING AUTHORS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
|
|
person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
|
|
spelled differently.
