[PATCH] gitk - fix a problem with multiline author names

[Tomo Krajina]

When commiting with "git-commit" no newline in the author string
is possible. But other git clients don't have the same validations
for the author name. And, it is possible to have a commit like:

commit xxxxxxxx
Merge: aaaaa bbbbb
Author: User Name
 <user.name@domain.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 8 17:01:02 2012 +0100

    Merge branch 'master' of ...

Note that the "Author:" string is split in two lines.

The git-log command work without problems with a commit like this, but
in gitk there is a problem because it splits the headers by a newline
character and that's why the email and time is not correctly parsed
and the history tree below this commit is not shown.
