Perhaps it is because your GECOS setting leads to this error: fatal: empty ident <szeder@neumann.(none)> not allowed The reason the first hunk is a fix is because that particular test tries to see what happens when the committer identity comes from the default places (i.e. hostname, ident and GECOS) by removing the environment variable. For all the other tests, however, we explicitly set committer and author identities by setting necessary environment variables so that the tests will be repeatable for everybody. That test, however, removed the environment variable for all the later tests, which made them unreliable (works for some people, not work for others). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
