Gitorious import: ObjectFormatException raised when badly formatted object (around date?)

Reproduction: Use /srv/storage/space/mirrors/gitorious.org/mnt/repositories/opensuse/kernel-source.git

repo = 'kernel-source.git'
origin_url = 'http://opensuse/kernel-source.git'

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

from swh.loader.git.tasks import LoadDiskGitRepository

t = LoadDiskGitRepository()
t.run(origin_url=origin_url, directory=repo, date='2016-05-03T15:16:32+00:00')

output:

DEBUG:swh.scheduler.task.LoadDiskGitRepository:Creating git origin for http://opensuse/kernel-source.git
