Subject: [PATCH] mailinfo: don't discard names under 3 characters
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2019 00:39:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191220003948.60272-1-edef@edef.eu> (raw)
I sometimes receive patches from people with short mononyms, and in my
cultural environment these are not uncommon. To my dismay, git-am
currently discards their names, and replaces them with their email
addresses.

I'm not *completely* sure there's even a case where `src = email` is
the right thing to do, but I'd rather not modify this code more than
strictly necessary.
