I've already seen this marking in baroque music: in a string part it denotes a measured "Bogenvibrato", a change in intensity (not in pitch), created with the bow. Basically you should play the notes completely legato, in the same bow stroke, with a < > effect on each note.
If it were written in a keyboard piece, it would signify a Bebung on a clavichord.
