Cannot install because molokai color submodule fails to clone

[mpeters]

An install of janus fails because the molokai submodule fails to clone:

Cloning into 'janus/vim/colors/molokai'...
remote: Counting objects: 11, done.
remote: Total 11 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 11
Unpacking objects: 100% (11/11), done.
error: object 0500e432817c4b7493fabaa272dcc8fdad29908c:invalid author/committer line - bad time zone
fatal: Error in object
fatal: unpack-objects failed
Clone of 'https://github.com/vim-scripts/molokai.git' into submodule path 'janus/vim/colors/molokai' failed

Even doing a direct clone of that project by itself fails:

 git clone https://github.com/vim-scripts/molokai.git
Cloning into 'molokai'...
remote: Counting objects: 11, done.
remote: Total 11 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 11
Unpacking objects: 100% (11/11), done.
error: object 0500e432817c4b7493fabaa272dcc8fdad29908c:invalid author/committer line - bad time zone
fatal: Error in object
fatal: unpack-objects failed

I know this isn't directly a janus issue (and molokai project doesn't seem to allow issues to be created), but it does prevent janus from being installed.

I also have this section in my ~/.gitconfig that contributes to the problem:

 [fetch]
         fsckobjects = true

So my git setup is extra strict (based on this advice - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-01/msg01802.html) which makes this clone fail.

So you should add a -c fetch.fsckobjects=false option to the git clone so that it can be worked around during the install no matter what the user's git configuration is.

[mpeters]

Well, it seems that adding that option to the top-level git clone doesn't quite work because it doesn't go down to the submodules... Not sure what the solution is there.

I think fetch.fsckobjects = true is way overkill. Not sure if there's a solution to this besides trying to unset it globally at the beginning of rake and reset it at the end.
