Struct IdentFields 

pub struct IdentFields<'a> {
    pub name: &'a [u8],
    pub email: &'a [u8],
    pub date: Option<&'a [u8]>,
    pub tz: Option<&'a [u8]>,
}

A tolerant parse-view of a git identity line split git’s way (ident.c’s split_ident_line). Unlike Signature::from_ident_line — which is a strict, byte-exact round-trip parser — this mirrors how git’s pretty-printer recovers fields from broken idents: the email is the run between the first < and the first following >, while the timestamp is located by scanning backwards from the end of the line for the last >. That split lets a corrupt ident like Name <a@b>-<> 123 +0000 still surrender the correct name (Name), email (a@b), and date (123 +0000).

Fields

name: &'a [u8]

Everything before the first <, with one trailing separator space removed.

email: &'a [u8]

The bytes between the first < and the first following >.

date: Option<&'a [u8]>

The decimal timestamp digit-run, or None when the line has no parseable <digits> <±digits> date tail (git’s “person only” case).

tz: Option<&'a [u8]>

The timezone token (± plus digits), present iff date is.
