Subject: git-am includes escape characters from 'From' field
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 22:10:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.yno0zli7ig5ot5@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

git-am seems to add backslash that escapes double quote character, example  
git format-patch

In .gitconfig I have
name = Sebastian \"Swift Geek\" Grzywna
which appears to work fine with regular git commit - backslashes are not  
included in 'From' field.
