Keep getting Invalid author specified. Example: A U Thor

Question

Using Eclipse Indigo and egit, everytime I commit a pop up appears and has my name and email in the author and committer boxes. They look fine. however, egit tells me:

Answer 1

Look at the message you are getting:

Invalid author specified. Example: A U Thor <author@example.com>

It simply means that it wants info in indicated format.

For example, if your name is James Bond then you need to type

James Bond <bond@unknown.com>

You can do the same in both rows.
