[PATCH] pretty: Add "%aU"|"%au" option to output author's username

From
Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>
Date
Oct 22, 2019, 23:28 UTC
Message-ID
<20191022232847.5212-1-prarit@redhat.com>

In many projects the number of contributors is low enough that users know each other and the full email address doesn't need to be displayed. Displaying only the author's username saves a lot of columns on the screen. For example displaying "prarit" instead of "prarit@redhat.com" saves 11 columns.

Add a "%aU"|"%au" option that outputs the author's email username.
Also add tests for "%ae" and "%an".
