That may mean there is room for improvement in split_ident_line to be more resilient in removing cruft. With something like: Name <email@host>-<> 123456789 -0000 it would obviously be nice to find the date timestamp there, but I wonder what the "email" field should return? The full broken string, or just "email@host"? One way is convenient for overlooking problems in broken commits, but I would worry about code paths that are using split_ident_line to verify the quality of the string (like determine_author_info). It's possible we would need a strict and a forgiving mode. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
