[PATCH] blame: handle broken commit headers gracefully

From: René Scharfe <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:53
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

split_ident_line() can leave us with the pointers date_begin, date_end,
tz_begin and tz_end all set to NULL.  Check them before use and supply
the same fallback values as in the case of a negative return code from
split_ident_line().

The "(unknown)" is not actually shown in the output, though, because it
will be converted to a number (zero) eventually.

Minimal patch, test case missing.  It's a bit sad that the old commit
parser of blame handled Ivan's specific corruption (extra "-<>" after
email) gracefully because it used the spaces as cutting points instead
of "<" and ">".
