| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the distant past, the order things were documented was 'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ... Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want to know that first. However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving 'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation style and then back to input related stuff.

This isn't desirable for cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid. Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying: 1. jane@laptop mailto:jane@laptop Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros. In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to encode optional information on such invalidated entries without harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra email key). Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN" formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on the current state that git sees (and it also works properly from subdirs). 2. The original would find multiple names for an email, but not the other way around. This version can do either or both. If we find multiple emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than the other way around. However, it can still be a starting point for a human to investigate. 3. The original would order only by count, not by recency. This version can do either. Combined with showing the counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve. 4. This version shows similar entries in a blank-delimited stanza, which makes it more clear which options you are picking from.

The "master" name for each email was chosen by: 1. If the only difference is in the presence or absence of accented characters, the accented form is chosen (under the assumption that it is the natural spelling, and accents are sometimes stripped in email). 2. Otherwise, the most commonly used name is chosen. 3. If all names are equally common, the most recently used name is chosen.
