Hi guys,
I have recently changed my company and am required to update my email address in
kernel source.
I can only see one way of doing that:
- Do a git grep, update all files, commit and post the patch.
Is there any better way of doing this that git provides, by which even
'git log' would show
the latest id available? I heard from a friend but don't know if it exists.

Not sure if the kernel maintains one but projects can use a .mailmap[1]
file to do just this kind of thing. You'd still have to update code if
you want people to get hold of you from MODULE_AUTHOR statements.

git log does support the .mailmap feature with the %aE format option but
it looks like it doesn't do it by default. I'm guessing performance is
probably the reason. Anyone else care to comment?
