From: Dmitry Ivankov Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 10:21:07 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] fast-import: don't fail on omitted committer name Message-ID: <1313058070-4774-3-git-send-email-divanorama@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1313058070-4774-1-git-send-email-divanorama@gmail.com> fast-import format declares 'committer_name SP' to be optional in 'committer_name SP LT email GT'. But for a (commit) object SP is obligatory while zero length committer_name is ok. git-fsck checks that SP is present, so fast-import must prepend it if the name SP part is omitted. It doesn't do so and thus for "LT email GT" ident it writes a bad object. Name cannot contain LT or GT, ident always comes after SP in fast-import. So if ident starts with LT reuse the SP as if a valid 'SP LT email GT' ident was passed. This fixes a ident parsing bug for a well-formed fast-import input. Though the parsing is still loose and can accept a ill-formed input.
