[PATCH] Understand the meaning of commas in git-send-email

[PATCH] Understand the meaning of commas in git-send-email

[Matthew Wilcox]

I made the mistake of adding one Cc: line with two email addresses on
it, instead of two Cc: lines with one email address each.  Extending
git-send-email to parse that case turns out to not be too much work.

I am not sure.  The input addresses this part of the code deals
with are of human readable form 

	Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
        matthew@wil.cx (Matthew Wilcox)

and the loop is extracting the part inside <> pair.

I have a mild suspicion that your patch may need to understand
quoting to handle somebody else's name safely and correctly.
