Re: [PATCH 3/5] fast-import: check committer name more strictly

Please describe how you check this field "more strictly" in the body of the log message, iow, against what rule you are validating, perhaps something like:

 The identifier must be either "<address>" or "Name <address>" where
 neither address nor Name can contain '<' nor '>'; otherwise the input
 stream is rejected.

As fast-import is used to _create_ new objects, its input is a simple text file that can be fixed-up as needed, it is a good idea to validate the input more strictly and rejecting bad ones.
