[PATCH] blame: Improve parsing for emails with spaces

From
JSJosh Stone <jistone@redhat.com>
Date
Apr 21, 2011, 22:07 UTC
Message-ID
<1303423656-32002-1-git-send-email-jistone@redhat.com>

One of my git repositories has some old commits where the authors obfuscated their email address as <author at example dot com>. To handle this, blame needs to look for the leading '<' when scanning to split the "name <email>", rather then only a space delimiter.
