[PATCH v2 0/2] Use email address instead of empty real name.

[PATCH v2 0/2] Use email address instead of empty real name.

[Jesse Rosenthal]

Apologies. A git (-user) malfunction in v1 accidentally sent the whole
mbox as one patch. These are the correct patches.

Jesse Rosenthal (2):
  lib: Use email address instead of empty real name.
  test: Add test for correct naming of author.

[PATCH v2 1/2] lib: Use email address instead of empty real name.

[Jesse Rosenthal]

Currently, if a From-header is of the form:

    "" <address@example.com>

the empty string will be treated as a valid real-name, and the entry
in the search results will be empty.

The new behavior here is that we treat an empty real-name field as if
it were null, so that the email address will be used in the search
results instead.

[PATCH v2 2/2] test: Add test for correct naming of author.

[Jesse Rosenthal]

This is a new test file, since handling of unusual email addresses
doesn't seem to fit well in any of our existing tests.

Nitpick, we don't use // style comments.

Nitpick, please add spaces around "==" but no space before closing ")".

It would be nice to have this as patch 1/2 annotated with "known broken"
and have the implementation patch fix it. It's nice to see that the
patch actually changes things! ;)
