Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:
The only ident-parsing function we currently provide is
get_author_ident_from_commit. This is not very
flexible for two reasons:
1. It takes a commit as an argument, and can't read from
commit headers saved on disk.
2. It will only parse authors, not committers.
This patch provides a more flexible interface which will
parse multiple idents from a commit provide on stdin. We can
easily use it as a building block for the current function
to retain compatibility.

Since we are counting processes in this series, I should note that this
actually adds a subshell invocation for each call, since it went from:
script='...'
sed $script
to:
sed "$(make_script)"
For filter-branch, which is really the only high-performance caller we
have, this is negated by the fact that it will do author and committer
at the same time, saving us an extra subshell (in addition to an extra
sed invocation).
Given that pick-ident-script is a const function, a caller that
repeatedly call is could call it once and use it in a variable, no?
