Not an expert of the norm, but my understanding is that you're allowed to use either "Name <addr@xxxxxxxxxx>" (name-addr) or addr@xxxxxxxxxx (addr-spec), and that comments are allowed within parenthesis like "Stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (4.8+)". What is this [4.8+] supposed to mean? The guilty function is parse_mailboxes in perl/Git.pm. It should be rather easy to modify it but I need to understand the spec before I can try to implement anything. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
