Some users have tabs in their names, oddly enough.  This
causes problems when loading the usercache from disk,
as split separates the fields on the wrong tabs.  When
fast-import's parse_ident() tries to parse the committer
field, it is unhappy about the unbalanced <..> angle brackets.

It is easy enough to convert the tabs to single spaces.

Here's another random little fix.  We have a user
Firstname\tLastname who checked something in recently and
broke my git-p4 conversion.

I need to send the other acked patch to Junio; will wait
and give him two if you ack this one.
