I was more thinking about the pre-git migration awful authors list. As I said, while Daniel and I fixed most of the things, there are still a lot of malformed authors with a low number of commits, or alternatively, svn names we couldn't track. I'd say: at least filter after the git migration (where author info has been improved). Feel free to manually update .mailmap if you feel like manually tracking 15 years worth of random authors with bad names. :) -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
