Summary Check for spaces in names doesn't take into account non-alphanumeric characters
Berend-Jan Wever
Reported 2011-03-02 05:16:34 PST
/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm@1671: changeLogNameError("'$name' does not contain a space! ChangeLogs should contain your full name.") unless ($name =~ /\w \w/); I had set my name to "B.J. Wever", and wasn't allowed to create a changelog because it "does not contain a space", which is incorrect. Since my full-full name is "Berend-Jan Wever", which also has non-alphameric characters, I'm fixing the check, rather than the message.

Comment on attachment 84411 [details] Better patch I'm confued. "B.J. Wever" has a space in it, doesn't it? What's it matching? Is it incorrectly picking up on ly part of your name? This change looks fine though, but I don't really understand how the old code failed for you.

"B.J. Wever" obviously doesn't match /\w \w/ indeed - \w is letters, digits, and underscores.
