Hi William, thank you for putting this together.

It could have a commit message like this: ident: rename fmt_name() to fmt_committer_name() Ever since 4c28e4ada03f (commit: die before asking to edit the log message, 2010-12-20), all remaining callers of that function want to format the committer name. To simplify the code, therefore, we rename the function and move the getenv() call into it. Ciao, Dscho
