In some cases it's very useful to add some additional information after email in Cc-list, for instance: "Cc: Stable kernel <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> #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.
