No, you are both slow ;-) At that point p is not the beginning of the input anymore. This is a *tentative* fix to implement your intended solution. I have a suspicion that your intended solution would not work on systems that really use these GECOS subfields, though. These commas are there to separate subfields and your intended solution would keep the office numbers etc. as part of commiter name. Honestly, I think your COMMITTER_* environment variable idea is far better than playing games like this, although at the same time I sympathize your not wanting to encourage people to lie about the committer identity.
