Totally understandable. If I could get some advice though, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Passing a committer and an author to the two tests that call do_commit
(from dulwich) directly fixes the problem. The third failing commit
calls store_git_pristine_tar_data (from bzr-git). I don't see a way to
fix this without adding a committer and/or an author parameter to the
function. That would be simple enough it seems, as it is a wrapper
around do_commit. Does that sound like the right approach, or am I
missing something in my cursory look at the code?

Thanks!
