+1.  I can't log into gitorious because apparently my sreg nickname (Andrew)
is already taken.

"This login (Andrew) already exists, please  choose a different
persona/nickname or modify the current one"

I'm glad you accept OpenID, but I wish:
1) you'd accept OpenID 2.0, complete with XRIs
2) you'd not require me to change my nickname at my provider just to log in
to you.  Suppose I change my nickname just to log into your site, and then
change my nickname again, but try to log into your site with my same
OpenID?  Will you recognize me as a different person because my nickname is
different?  To recognize people by their nickname is just silly.  Please fix
this.  If the "username" on the site must be different than the openid, then
let it default to the nickname if it happens to not conflict and resort to
the openid Identifier if necessary, and let the user then go in and
customize the appearance of their name on the site.

I was eager to check out gitorious as soon as I heard about it and that it
accepted OpenID.  But this annoyance will drive me away until it is fixed.
Not meaning to be controvertial.  I just want you to realize it's not worth
my while to workaround your strange behavior.
