# Motivation for this script:

#  The goal in this script is to take a large Git repostiory and find a
#  simple list of all commit ids that match certain criteria, specifically,
#  either an Author: field or if they are mentioned in the patch.

#  The recommended ATTRIBUTING_LOG_MESSAGE_REGEX is something like this:

#       (Submitted\s+by|original\s+patch|patch\s+(from|by)|originally\s+(from|by)).*

#  The idea is this: It's quite common in older times for someone to commit
#  on behalf of someone else, where the Author: field reads a particular
#  author, but the log message says that someone else wrote it.  We're
#  looking for a specific author, but we want to eliminate those commits
#  where that Author attributed them to someone else, and include those
#  commits where someone else indicated that our sought author actually wrote
#  the patch.
