Nah, from my .git/config
[user]
name = JT
email = jt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nope, the only place in my entire home directory where those get set
are in my filter-branch script to fix them, which I only run after the
problem manifests itself.

I have a global identity in ~/.gitconfig
[user]
name = JT
email = hello@xxxxxxxxxx
and then in particular topic branches in their .git/config like before.

I don't have git-sh-setup, which seems like it should be included in
the git-core package, but it's not. I have git-core
1:1.7.1-1.1ubuntu0.1 installed. Obviously this precludes
get_author_ident_from_commit from working.

Alright, I'll see what I can do. Thanks.
