Here's the whole series again. Most of it is unchanged, but given the
ordering problem earlier, it seems reasonable to just post it all again.

  [01/15]: ident: split setup_ident into separate functions
  [02/15]: http-push: do not access git_default_email directly
  [03/15]: fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person
  [04/15]: move identity config parsing to ident.c
  [05/15]: move git_default_* variables to ident.c
  [06/15]: ident: trim trailing newline from /etc/mailname

  This one is new and fixes the t4014 failure. The earlier version I
  posted trimmed all trailing whitespace, but there's not much point in
  being thorough, since this code gets removed later, anyway.

  [07/15]: format-patch: use default email for generating message ids
  [08/15]: fmt_ident: drop IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME code
  [09/15]: ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_name
  [10/15]: drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails

  This one drops the new code from patch 6, as it is pointless with
  strbufs. I considered reordering the patches to avoid patch 6
  altogether, but there is a circular dependency with getting rid of the
  WARN case in patch 8.

  [11/15]: ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message
  [12/15]: ident: use full dns names to generate email addresses
  [13/15]: ident: use a dynamic strbuf in fmt_ident
  [14/15]: ident: trim whitespace from default name/email

  This one is new, and actually does a good job of trimming unnecessary
  whitespace (from both the front and back, and from both name and
  email).

  [15/15]: format-patch: refactor get_patch_filename
