From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 02:40:42 GMT Subject: email address handling Message-ID: <20080731194042.a1534b4d.akpm@linux-foundation.org> A minor thing. Commit 76ecb4f2d7ea5c3aac8970b9529775316507c6d2 is displayed thusly: commit 76ecb4f2d7ea5c3aac8970b9529775316507c6d2 Author: Zhang, Rui Date: Thu Apr 10 16:20:23 2008 +0800 ACPI: update thermal temperature but that isn't a valid email address. Because it contains a comma it must be quoted: "Zhang, Rui". I assume that something in the git toolchain removed his quotes, and that was arguably incorrect.
