Using Mail::Address made sense when we didn't have a proper parser. We now have a reasonable address parser, and using Mail::Address _if available_ causes much more trouble than it gives benefits: * Developers typically test one version, not both. * Users may not be aware that installing Mail::Address will change the behavior. They may complain about the behavior in one case without knowing that Mail::Address is involved. * Having this optional Mail::Address makes it tempting to anwser "please install Mail::Address" to users instead of fixing our own code. We've reached the stage where bugs in our parser should be fixed, not worked around. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <git@matthieu-moy.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>maint
