Copy author should include email

[drewnoakes]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Feature?

What is the current behavior?

Copying author only includes name.

What is the expected behavior?

Copied string should have standard git format of "Name <email>".

This should also apply to committer when present.

My use case was needing to create a commit locally after massaging someone elses commits, and wanting to paste into the command line for --author="|".

Environment you encounter the issue:

• GitExtensions version: 3.0 beta 1
• GIT version: N/A
• OS version: N/A
• .NET version: N/A

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions (which)?

Don't think so.

Note that coping from here doesn't work either:

You end up with:

Picking this up

[gerhardol]

The copy in Commit tab contains the links also for branches tags etc. The plain text copy should not contain the links, should copy the text as displayed.

Agreed, both sections of the tab exhibit this behaviour for links
