If you want to see what the full patch would look like, you can fetch it from: git://github.com/peff/git.git jk/doc-credits The patch itself is rather large, so I didn't want to post it. I don't know if we should extract the list of people who are being dropped and check if they have any objection. You can get a partial list with: git show jk/doc-credits^ | grep ^- | perl -lne 'print for /<(.*?)>/g' | sort -u though some people are mentioned only by name, not by email. -Peff
