Subject: gitosis: expects ssh key comment to be in u...@host format
Package: gitosis
Version: 0.2+20080825-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

According to ssh.py, gitosis-init expects the "comment" field in the ssh key to
be in the "u...@host" format, as it is the default in ssh-keygen. However my key
had something else there and it resulted in a nice stack trace that made me
waste a few minutes trying to understand what was wrong :)

Please at least update the documentation to mention the importance of the
comment field. Or maybe when #474082 is fixed, advertise the username option.

Thanks.
