Because you were the only person (so far) whose gecos information wasn't
sufficient for git-commit to work. In Junio's case, the test script
accidentally unset the GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME,EMAIL} variables, which
caused git-commit to fall back on the information in /etc/passwd; it
worked, but it was doing something unintended. On your system, that
information wasn't available, so git-commit just broke.
