+# This mailmap fixes up author names/addresses.
+#
+# If you are adding to this file consider if a similar change needs to
+# be made to contrib/gitdm/aliases. They are not however completely
+# analogous. .mailmap is concerned with fixing up damaged author
+# fields where as the gitdm equivalent is more concerned with making
+# sure multiple email addresses get mapped onto the same author.
+#
+# From man git-shortlog the forms are:
+#
+#  Proper Name <commit@email.xx>
+#  <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>
+#  Proper Name <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>
+#  Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx>
+#
+
+# The first section translates weird addresses from the original git import
+# into proper addresses so that they are counted properly by git shortlog.
