fast-import: Document author/committer/tagger name is optional
The fast-import parser does not validate that the author, committer or tagger name component contains both a name and an email address. Therefore the name component has always been optional. Correct the documentation to match the implementation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
