[PATCH 1/4] commit: use split_ident_line to compare author/committer

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date

Message-ID

In-Reply-To
<20140502010328.GA30556@sigill.intra.peff.net>

Instead of string-wise comparing the author/committer lines with their timestamps truncated, we can use split_ident_line and ident_cmp. These functions are more robust than our ad-hoc parsing, though in practice it should not matter, as we just generated these ident lines ourselves.

However, this will also allow us easy access to the timestamp and tz fields in future patches.
