 I guess most users testing git-annex probably have a .gitconfig sitting in their home directories already so the above never cropped up. This failure was initially found in a clean and fresh install of a virtual machine with archlinux and repeated again on my archlinux laptop.
+
+Update: I pulled the master on my rhel5 test machine and moved my .gitconfig out of the way, the tests passes and continues but I still get a "warning message" from git.

+Your name and email address were configured automatically based
+on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
+You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:
+
+    git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+    git config --global user.email you@example.com
+
+After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:
+
+    git commit --amend --reset-author

+I guess it also depends a bit on how git figures out who it is is committing and how the machine in question is configured with hostnames and domain names.
