For example take patch with such line: From: AA Upon applying such patch, the author is replaced with email: Author: git@bloodstone.dev I did try multiple different 1 or 2 letter names, they all seem to have the same issue. 3 letter names work fine. This was tested by 3 people in our project, and happens in very different setups. I'm having a hard time finding the exact cause of it. Tried searching for issues, but didn't find anything. Maybe someone has an idea what could it be caused by? I hope I disabled the HTML mode properly and use this mailing list as intended :) ``` ## Đoàn Trần Công Danh, 2021-07-07 17:04 Subject: Re: git-am changes author if its short Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/YOXesxUQW9zRX4uV%40danh.dev In-Reply-To: ``` On 2021-07-07 18:46:53+0200, Professor Bloodstone wrote: > When applying a patch using git am test.patch, if author consists of 1 > or 2 letters, then it is being replaced with author email instead. > > For example take patch with such line: > > From: AA > > Upon applying such patch, the author is replaced with email: > > Author: git@bloodstone.dev > > I did try multiple different 1 or 2 letter names, they all seem to > have the same issue. 3 letter names work fine.
