Subject: Use GECOS field a bit better to produce default human readable name.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.8~106
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9bacb4f6a6f0aae7270acb257977f9ee0bbd6db;p=git.git

Use GECOS field a bit better to produce default human readable name.

This updates the default human readable name we generate from GECOS
field.  We assume the "full-name, followed by additional information
separated by commas" format, with an & expanding to the capitalized
login name.
