Low Description
In GIt, authors are usually identified in the form:
Graeme Mathieson <mathie@woss.name>
just like an RFC822-formatted email address. Unfortunately, this causes a problem with the REST API, which spits out the author into an attribute of the <commit /> node without escaping the '<' character. This causes the Bamboo Confluence plugin (amongst others, I'm sure) to balk when trying to consume the XML from the REST API.
Here is a sample response from our Bamboo server, demonstrating the problem:
