This is going to be a problem I think. Some importers are probably
writing "committer <bob> ...." when pulling from systems that don't
have a concept of name vs. email (e.g. CVS or SVN). I highly suspect
that requiring two spaces here will cause a lot of importers to fail.
If we really need to require two spaces, I think we need to honor
the documented input format but rewrite the line inside of the
import process to match the two space convention.
