fatal: Missing space before < in ident string

[nschloe]

Upon

git-hg clone ssh://[email protected]/dolfin-adjoint/dolfin-adjoint

(https://bitbucket.org/dolfin-adjoint/dolfin-adjoint) I'm getting

fatal: Missing space before < in ident string: Gabriel Balaban<[email protected]> <Gabriel Balaban<[email protected]>> 1369824567 +0200

Another instance of this:

git-hg clone ssh://[email protected]/eigen/eigen

gives

fatal: Missing space before < in ident string: Michael Schmidt \<[email protected]\> <Michael Schmidt \<[email protected]\>> 1363698042 +0100
