The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',

mailmap.file::
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default

See linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1].
+mailmap.blob::
+ Like `mailmap.file`, but consider the value as a reference to a
+ blob in the repository. If both `mailmap.file` and
