Btw, one other thing you can take away from it is that even when they _are_ shown, and even when they _are_ meaningful, people still don't care. There's absolutely tons of "(none)" emails even in the _visible_ parts, which is really really sad. But it does tell a lot about humans - they won't be noticing even _obvious_ mistakes like that. (And yes, it does say that git should probably have errored out way more aggressively about badly set up host/domain names in the "guess at email address" code. My bad. Maybe it's still worth fixing for the future) Linus
