git-am changes author if its short

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When applying a patch using git am test.patch, if author consists of 1
or 2 letters, then it is being replaced with author email instead.

For example take patch with such line:

From: AA <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Upon applying such patch, the author is replaced with email:

Author: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I did try multiple different 1 or 2 letter names, they all seem to
have the same issue. 3 letter names work fine. This was tested by 3
people in our project, and happens in very different setups.

I'm having a hard time finding the exact cause of it. Tried searching
for issues, but didn't find anything. Maybe someone has an idea what
could it be caused by?

I hope I disabled the HTML mode properly and use this mailing list as
intended :)
