Ah, I'd been thinking of rewinding master, but yeah, pushing an
explicit revert commit should work too.  There may be cases where a
client that does not include [1] still manages to find and choke on
.mailmap, but I haven't been able to think up anything that sounds
likely.  And as Jani pointed out in IRC, rolling back public branches
has its own set of problems [2].

So I've pushed bce5a55c removing .mailmap, and folks without [1]
should be back in business.  Sorry for the excitement :p.

Cheers,
Trevor
