Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/18194 ## Pete Wyckoff, 2009-03-07 15:05 Subject: [PATCH, acked] git-p4: remove tabs from usermap file Message-ID: <20090307150519.GA29200@padd.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090307150519.GA29200%40padd.com ``` 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.
