Use an author map (-A) or a plugin to correct it.

I actually found the problem and fixed it.

Replacing: user_re=re.compile(b'([^<]+) (<[^>]*>)$') with user_re=re.compile(b'([^<]+)\s*(<[^>]*>)$') in hg2git.py

Basically, making the spaces between the name and the <> optional

If you want I can create a PR for this.

Fast-export tries to not inflict arbitrary naming policy on the user, instead it aims to provide mechanisms allowing the user to apply their own policy. The way to do fixups is with author maps or plugins.

OK, thanks.

How would then be this particular use case be fixed then? the user is:

User Name<username> (note, no space in between the name and what should have been an email).

Does the existance of authors.map with the following content sufice?:

"User Name<username>"="User Name <username>"

That should be sufficient.
