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.
