This is done by consulting the -history of each patch or revision hunk to find people mentioned by commits -which touched the lines of files under consideration. - -Input consists of one or more patch files or revision arguments. A revision -argument can be a range or a single `<rev>` which is interpreted as -`<rev>..HEAD`, thus the same revision arguments are accepted as for -linkgit:git-format-patch[1]. Patch files and revision arguments can be combined -in the same invocation. - -This command can be useful for determining the list of people with whom to -discuss proposed changes, or for finding the list of recipients to Cc: when -submitting a patch series via `git send-email`. For the latter case, `git -contacts` can be used as the argument to `git send-email`'s `--cc-cmd` option. - - -DISCUSSION ----------- - -`git blame` is invoked for each hunk in a patch file or revision. For each -commit mentioned by `git blame`, the commit message is consulted for people who -authored, reviewed, signed, acknowledged, or were Cc:'d. Once the list of -participants is known, each person's relevance is computed by considering how -many commits mentioned that person compared with the total number of commits -under consideration. The final output consists only of participants who exceed -a minimum threshold of participation. - - -OUTPUT ------- - -For each person of interest, a single line is output, terminated by a newline. -If the person's name is known, ``Name $$<user@host>$$'' is printed; otherwise -only ``$$<user@host>$$'' is printed. - - -EXAMPLES --------- - -* Consult patch files: -+ ------------- -$ git contacts feature/*.patch ------------- - -* Revision range: -+ ------------- -$ git contacts R1..R2 ------------- - -* From a single revision to `HEAD`: -+ ------------- -$ git contacts origin ------------- - -* Helper for `git send-email`: -+ ------------- -$ git send-email --cc-cmd='git contacts' feature/*.patch ------------- - - -LIMITATIONS ------------ - -Several conditions controlling a person's significance are currently -hard-coded, such as minimum participation level (10%), blame date-limiting (5 -years), and `-C` level for detecting moved and copied lines (a single `-C`).
