Hello Simon,
I just noticed this while adding a Series-cc to my work address which
has parentheses: running patman (without -n) will result in
sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Which initially left me wondering what was happening until I realized
one of the Series-cc addresses had parentheses, e.g.
Series-cc: "Name NAME (NAME)" <addr...@domain.tld>
Note that the parentheses were in the free-form part of the address,
itself within double quotation marks, which appears valid wrt the RFC.
I've tried using single quotes as a workaround:
Series-cc: 'Name NAME (NAME)' <addr...@domain.tld>
It kind-of-works in that patman does not die, but the resulting address
in the mail has outer double quotes and inner single quotes, e.g.
"'Name NAME (NAME)'" <addr...@domain.tld>
Aditionally, addresses with names in UTF-8 also fail, though
differently but still with a message somewhat unrelated to the actual
cause (UTF-8-name is the placeholder for a name containing UTF-8
diacritics):
fatal: ambiguous argument 'UTF-8-name <add...@domain.tld>':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
The same single-quote hack works it around, with the resulting
mail Cc:ing the name surrounded by single quotes only:
Cc: 'UTF-8-name' <add...@domain.tld>
Cc:ing Marek who is a die-hard fan of UTF-8 names in e-mail
addresses. :)
Amicalement,

Albert.
