Subject: git rebase loses author name/email if given bad email address
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.9n^2

git rebase loses author name/email if given bad email address

If GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is of a certain form, `git rebase master' will blow
away the author name and email when fast-forward merging commits.  I
have not tracked it down, but here is a testcase that demonstrates the
behavior.
