It should be s=torvalds%40linux instead of s=torvalds\@linux

If you by hand edit URL changing '\@' to simply '@', does changed
gitweb URL works correctly?

I tried akpm@osdl.org, and @ and . was escaped with a backslash.
Removing both, and using the plain mail address worked.

This problem was fixed in 7e431ef (gitweb: Separate search regexp from 
search text), but this fix is present in git 1.5.2 and later, and 
kernel.org gitweb is a fork (adding caching mechanism) of 1.4.5-rc0,
according to info in git.kernel.org HTML source, and it does not have 
this fix.

I have CC-ed J.H. on this.
