IndexOutOfBoundsException in Eclipse EGit using "Team->Switch To"

When I right click my project and select "Team->Switch To", the menu doesn't list any of my branches, it's empty except for the "New Branch..." option.

I checked the Eclipse error log and it's throwing this error:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

    ...

Any clues as to what's wrong or why this is happening?

I'm running:

The stacktrace suggests that something goes wrong while decoding the author of a commit. Possibly the reflog contains an entry whose author or committer does not follow the pattern author <[email protected]>.

Not sure if it is legal in Git to have author names that do not follow the above pattern. If however, EGit/JGit allows to store them in the system it shouldn't complain while retrieving them again.

Hence I think it might be worth filing an EGit bugzilla to have the maintainers verify that this is desired behavior.
