From: Kacper Kornet Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:41:22 GMT Subject: Apostrophe at the end of author name Message-ID: <20120629124122.GG1258@camk.edu.pl> I try to import some repositories into git and one of the developers has asked his name to be presented as: Name 'Nick' . However git commit --author="Name 'Nick' " strips the last apostrophe and produces a commit authored by: Name 'Nick . Maybe the function strbuf_addstr_without_crud in ident.c should strip the trailing apostrophe only when it removed it also from the beginning of the string? -- Kacper
