Re: [PATCH v2 0/7] Allow git log to use mailmap file

Implement the feature suggested by Rich Mindwinter and Junio C Hamano

Allows git show/log commands to map author and committer
names and emails using the mailmap file.

Updates related to this second series:
  - All tests are successful after each patch
  - Use split_ident_line in shortlog.c
  - Documentation has been added to git-log.txt
  - Test has been added to check that we use the file
  - Lots of improvements in the way strbufs are used
  - New interface to map_user()
  - Bunch of other fixes

The updated map_user() and its users look much nicer now.  Applying
your patches with "git am --whitespace=error" spots a few style
violations, though.

git glog --committer/--author is still not looking for mailmap user
names.

I think we should stop using the header grep mechanism for these and
instead keep two separate grep expressions in struct rev_info and
use them in revision.c::commit_match().  The unification of header
filter and message grep filter done in 2d10c55 (git log: Unify
header_filter and message_filter into one., 2006-09-20) may not have
been a good idea.

Thanks.
