Hello.

An 'author' search string like "torvalds@linux" at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git generates a 'next' link due to the huge number of commits.

This link has an incorrect escaping for the @ sign. The backslash does not work, it generates an error:

403 Forbidden - Invalid search parameter
It should be s=torvalds%40linux instead of s=torvalds\@linux
