Re: [bug] blame duplicates trailing ">" in mailmapped emails

but it feels like the fix should go into map_user.  I tried a few things,
like "git log -1 --format=%aE", and couldn't find other code paths with
this problem. So presumably they are all feeding email addresses without
the closing ">" (so one option is to just say "map_user needs to get
NUL-terminated strings).

Perhaps, but I though the idea was to make it efficient. I think the
above fix should be ok.

Because of the calling convention of map_user, the buffer with the input
must also be writable (since it holds the result). So there should be no
loss of efficiency to convert the ">" into a "\0" (and in fact, the
simplest fix is probably to just have map_user "tie off" any ">" it
detects).

We should have tests for this though, to make sure it doesn't get
broken again. I'm on that.

Definitely. Thanks for working on it.
