Apostrophe at the end of author name

I try to import some repositories into git and one of the developers has asked his name to be presented as: Name 'Nick' <email>. However git commit --author="Name 'Nick' <email>" strips the last apostrophe and produces a commit authored by: Name 'Nick <email>.

Maybe the function strbuf_addstr_without_crud in ident.c should strip the trailing apostrophe only when it removed it also from the beginning of the string?
