Bug Description

On a project's +configure-code page, in the git setup instructions, the instructions mention:

```
Push a new repository

You can add a remote for your Git repository with the command:

git remote add origin git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/pmr

… and push the Git branch to Launchpad with:

git push origin master
```

However this will fail if the user's local shell username is different from their launchpad username. Ideally the instructions should render the users launchpad username, like so:

```
git remote add origin git+ssh://<email address hidden>/pmr
```

r18152 only fixed +configure-code, not the repo listing or repo pages.

Looks like lp:1590560 could be marked as a duplicate of this one. Not 100% sure though.
