[PATCH] fast-import docs: LT is valid in email, GT is not

From: Mark Lodato <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:48:41
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

In git-fast-import(1), fix a mistake that said LT and LF were the
invalid characters in email addresses.  This should have been GT and LF,
since the GT ends the email address and LF ends the command.
