I was trying to locate my patches in other private trees that were ready for deletion. I wanted to make sure there wasn't something good that I had forgotten about. I processed the output from 'git log' and got tripped up matching the author field because is was full of junk. My database background kicked in and I found myself on a tangent cleaning up the data.
I have since learned about the existence of 'git shortlog' which solved my problem. But I had already cleaned up the data before finding it.
