The header of the commits look like this:

tree 2eaf317290917660c03dc977d5eae180b39420e0
parent e99bf1c38540300c501dbe776de28eed6a2250cd
author DOM\paul <DOM\paul@28e39a90-19ad-e645-8baa-5c9ab2323746> 1216216768 +0000
committer DOM\paul <DOM\paul@28e39a90-19ad-e645-8baa-5c9ab2323746> 1216216768 +0000

With my name it's just not displaying the backslash, but with names
starting with a 't' or even better 'n' it get's more interresting
as they are shown as tab or newline. And that looks very funny in
the commit list view.

ciao,
   Torsten.
