[Bug 1129264] [NEW] 404 error when starting instaweb in directory with "@" character

[l0b0]

Public bug reported:

As asked elsewhere <http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/64779/how-
to-avoid-404-error-with-git-instaweb> I got a 404 error (no repositories
found) when running `git instaweb start` in a repository containing an
"@" character:

$ git clone ... foo at bar
$ cd foo at bar
$ git instaweb --local --start

At http://127.0.0.1:1234/ it now says "404 - No projects found", and no
project info is listed. If I instead check out to "foo_bar":

$ git instaweb stop
$ git clone ... foo_bar
$ cd foo_bar
$ git instaweb --local --start

Now it works fine.
