[PATCH 2/2] filter-branch: use git-sh-setup's ident parsing functions

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Oct 18, 2012, 07:25 UTC
Message-ID
<20121018072535.GB9999@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20121018072207.GA1605@sigill.intra.peff.net>

This saves us some code, but it also reduces the number of processes we start for each filtered commit. Since we can parse both author and committer in the same sed invocation, we save one process. And since the new interface avoids tr, we save 4 processes.

It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd portability problems reported with from Solaris's xpg6 version.
