As you comment in the original patch, I think it's best to sort the output. In libguestfs we sort by author string (ie. by the first name that appears): git log --pretty="format:%an <%ae>" | sort -u | uniq -w 10 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
