Not as "a fallback" in the sense that "Author:" should not be treated any specially when "am" (which stands for "apply mail") is operating on the patches in e-mails. Whatever wants to convert the output from "log --pretty" as if it came from "log --pretty=email" would certainly need to flip "Author:" to "From:" (what should happen when it sees "From:" in the input, though???), and whatgver wannts to pick metainfo from "log --pretty" output like mailinfo does for "log --pretty=email" output would certainly need to pick the authorship from "Author:" (without paying any attention to "From:" if one exists). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
