Re: Use of a mailmap file with git-log

It could indeed be very interesting to have mailmap applied to git-log and
especially to git-log --author/--committer.

The choice of parse_commit_buffer to do the modification is due to
the grepping being done directly on buffer when grepping author/committerer.

For pattern matching, I think revision.c::commit_match() is probably
the right place to do this kind of thing.  I just noticed that we
grep for the string inside a raw buffer, even when "encoding" is
specified, which I think is a bug.
