Maybe I should have cc'ed Vitaly, the others are straight typo fixes. (One may even argue that Vitaly's change is, too.) Smothering on the backburner for a while, is fine, though ;) I think for git.git it's simple enough to have "consistent" authorship information, partly due to the scale, partly due to the fact that by definition, submitters have a certain affluence with Git... Also, if used without "-e", shortlog coalesces authors by full name. I reckon this is the most common way it is used, and it's the mode for which I provided cleanup. If you distinguish by e-mail (-e) then there are many obvious multiple entries, but it's not up to me to decide which is the main e-mail address. One could take the latest one used, but some people distinguish between work for hire (maybe for several employers) and private submissions. Michael
