Makes sense...but doesn't the fact that this test worked either way
suggest that the specifying of a special author name/email was totally
superfluous and could just be removed? If there really was a reason
for specifying a different name/email, then is the test faulty for not
checking for it somewhere?
Good point. The commit tagged with amended-goodbye is later used in
some tests that ensure the author ident does not change across a
rebase. If this commit gets created without authorship customized
(i.e. before Phillip's fix), we would not catch a possible breakage
to make rebase discard the original authorship information.
But with this fix, we now can catch such a breakage.
I'll expand the commit message to make that clear
Thanks
Phillip
