Remove the magical "repo-abbrev" comment added when this file was introduced in e0ab1ec9fcd3 ([PATCH] add .mailmap for proper git-shortlog output, 2007-02-14).
It's been an undocumented feature of git-shortlog(1), originally added to git for Linus's use. Since then he's no longer using it[1], and I've removed the feature in git.git's 4e168333a87 (shortlog: remove unused(?) "repo-abbrev" feature, 2021-01-12). It's on the "master" branch, but not yet in a release version. Let's also remove it from linux.git, both as a heads-up to any potential users of it in linux.git whose use would be broken sooner than later by git itself, and because it'll eventually be entirely redundant. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAHk-=wixhybkzvucxq+ncwmbkrx0xnppb7ucoprww1+oexy...@mail.gmail.com/ Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <ava...@gmail.com> --- .mailmap | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap index b1ab0129c7d6..cc4e91d3075e 100644 --- a/.mailmap +++ b/.mailmap @@ -9,9 +9,6 @@ # # Please keep this list dictionary sorted. # -# This comment is parsed by git-shortlog: -# repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ -# Aaron Durbin <adur...@google.com> Adam Oldham <oldha...@gmail.com> Adam Radford <aradf...@gmail.com> -- 2.29.2.222.g5d2a92d10f8
