This section of code was done by Andy, so I can't tell his motivations for using 'unknown' the way he did. $email does appear to get set correctly for the first two elsifs cases here in the existing code: if (!defined $name_field) { # } elsif ($name_field =~ /(.*?)\s+<(.*)>/) { ($name, $email) = ($1, $2); } elsif ($name_field =~ /(.*)@/) { ($name, $email) = ($1, $name_field); } else { ($name, $email) = ($name_field, $name_field); So I propose the following one-line change instead of Stephen's: diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl index b151049..301a5b4 100755 --- a/git-svn.perl +++ b/git-svn.perl @@ -2432,7 +2432,7 @@ sub make_log_entry { } elsif ($name_field =~ /(.*)@/) { ($name, $email) = ($1, $name_field); } else { - ($name, $email) = ($name_field, 'unknown'); + ($name, $email) = ($name_field, $name_field); } } if (defined $headrev && $self->use_svm_props) { -- Eric Wong -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
