This is not about this particular patch, but the From: address
git-send-email generates for you does not seem to quote the human readable
part, even though the name has a "." in it.

Your mails seem to reach the recipients fine, but I saw my reply to you
bounce, because "To:" or "Cc:" in my reply end up having the "R." part not
quoted, like this:

  (wrong)  To: Alejandro R. Sedeño <asedeno@mit.edu>
 (correct) To: "Alejandro R. Sedeño" <asedeno@mit.edu>

I wonder if we should do something about it in git-send-email.  Every time
I grab Shawn's address using my "git who" alias, I manually quote his name
to avoid my message thrown into dustbin by vger.

    [alias]
    who = "!sh -c 'git log -1 --format=\"%an <%ae>\" --author=\"$1\"' -"

I suspect Michael is not "Michael J. Gruber" for the same reason...
