Re: [PATCH v3] am: use get_author_ident_from_commit instead of mailinfo when rebasing

Jay Soffian [off-list ref] writes:

In certain situations, commit authorship can consist of an invalid
e-mail address. For example, this is the case when working with git svn
repos where the author email has had the svn repo UUID appended such as:

 author@example.com <author@example.com@deadbeef-dead-beef-dead-beefdeadbeef>

Given such an address, mailinfo extracts the authorship incorrectly as
it assumes a valid domain. However, when rebasing the original
authorship should be preserved irrespective of its validity as an email
address.

This justifies the motivation very well.  Thanks.
