How about "s/(.*?<[^>]*>).*$/$1/"?  That will still fail on "<foo@bar>"

That will fail also on "<something>" <foo@bar>.


I think it's good compromise between complexity and correctness.

Felipe, may you check, it again? This time the change is trivial.

Andreas, may I add you in Thanks-to?

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] git-send-email: remove garbage after email address

In some cases it's very useful to add some additional information
after email in Cc-list, for instance:

"Cc: Stable kernel [off-list ref] #v3.4 v3.5 v3.6"

Currently the git refuses to add such invalid email to Cc-list,
when the Email::Valid perl module is available or just uses whole line
as the email address.

Now in sanitize_address() everything after the email address is
removed, so the resulting line is correct email address and Email::Valid
validates it correctly.

To avoid unnecessary complexity this code assumes that in phrase before
email address '<something>' never exists.
