Exactly the same comment about "the function name being too
generic" from the last round still applies.

In addition to Junio's concern that add_user_info() really wants to be 
called pp_add_user_info(), I cannot help myself but suspect that 
pp_write_email_headers() -- which called for a new name, too -- also wants 
to live in pretty.c.

pp_user_info() maybe? That also matches the other similar functions.

Good idea, although I think "pp" is a verb about putting the result in the 
provided strbuf, so "pp_user_info()" and "pp_email_headers()".

It's different, currently, in that it actually outputs the headers, rather 
than putting them in a buffer and uses struct rev_info. I'll need to work 
on this some more.

It's pretty firmly tied to a different style from the pp_* functions, so I 
think I'll make it log_write_email_headers() for this series.
