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

Amos Waterland · Junio C Hamano · commit 294c695d8cfb · 2005-12-14T17:04:47.000-08:00
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.
