[PATCH] commit --amend: test specifies authorship but forgets to check

The test case "--amend option copies authorship" specifies that the git-commit option `--amend` uses the authorship of the replaced commit for the new commit. Add the omitted check that this property actually holds.

Without the check, the test case succeeds even with nonsense in the
`expected` file. An `--amend` implementation which simply uses the
committer name and date as if it was not amending would have been
deemed correct. This is not the case, the implementation still passes
the test suite after the correction.

Quickly skimming over the rest of the file, I couldn't find the same thing twice.
