This is the first time I heard the term "arrow bracket".  Aren't
they more commonly called angle brackets?

Why would this be useful?

Meaning I'd get "<gitster" for me?

Building small pieces of new feature in each patch is good, and
adding tests to each step is also good.  Why not do the same for
docs?

The original code prepares to see NULL from this strchr(); that is
why it checks eoemail for NULL and returns an empty string---the
data is broken (i.e. not an address in angle brackets), which this
code cannot do anything about---in the later part of the code.

And this breaks the carefully laid out error handling by the
original code.  Adding 1 to NULL is quite undefined.

The undocumented design here is that you want to return "hariom" for
"<hariom@xxxxxxxxx>", i.e. out of the "trimmed" e-mail, the part
before the at-sign is returned.

If the data were "<hariom>", you'd still want to return "hariom" no?
But because you do not check for NULL, you end up returning an empty
string.

I think you want to cut at the first '@' or '>', whichever comes
first.

Invalid and unhandled ones are silently ignored and not treated as
an error?  I would have thought that at least the "default" one
would be a BUG(), as you covered all the possible values for the
enum with case arms.  I wouldn't be surprised if seeing EO_INVALID
is also a BUG(), i.e. the control flow that led to the caller to
call this function with EO_INVALID in email_option.option is likely
to be broken.  It's not like you return "" to protect yourself when
fed a bad data from objects---a bad value in .option can only come
here if the parser you wrote for "--format=<string>" produced a
wrong result.

The ref-filter formatting language already knows many "colon plus
modifier" suffix like "refname:short" and "contents:body", but I do
not think we have ugly repetition like the above code to parse them.
Perhaps the addition for "email:<whatever>" can benefit from
studying and mimicking existing practices a bit more?
