Hmm. I just noticed that GGG (?) is somehow inferring my defunct
@google.com address. Not sure how to fix this... any tips?

This email address is apparently part of the commit object, see
https://github.com/git/git/commit/a556a5c05c44e521b572d595d5d32cc4158612c0.patch

(you can also see it locally if you call `git show --no-mailmap
a556a5c05c44e521b572d595d5d32cc4158612c0`, but not if you omit
`--no-mailmap`)

Ah, thanks! So the commit's Author field is actually set to the google
email, but tig and other Git subcommands were using the .mailmap file to
replace it with the proper (ucla) one. I didn't realize this was
happening, and didn't bother updating the commit itself to use the
email.
