The system is not accepting a key containing spaces in the "name"

I'm trying to add my public key to your site, and can't seem to find the appropriate format to upload it in.

So far I've tried:
SSH2 (straight from ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub)
OpenSSH (one line, prefixed with ssh_dss)

The system confused by the "name" containing spaces. So "ssh-rsa TnV1b....uJs= My Public Key" is not accepted but "ssh-rsa TnV1b....uJs= MyPublicKey" is fine.

Either dsa or rsa should be fine, so basically a plain old cut&paste of ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub should do the trick. The fix for this specific issue is now planned (GITENT-503)

Thank you for using GitEnterprise!
