Hello all,

I've been on "jch" for my daily use and I noticed today that git stash isn't working. I managed to debug it down to "ps/stash-in-c".

To reproduce on git.git, it's simply the following:
	echo // >>dir.c
	git stash
This gives me the following error:
	$ git stash
	BUG: ident.c:511: GIT_AUTHOR_NAME was checked before prepare_fallback got called
	Aborted (core dumped)

I haven't read through the branch's code so I'm not too familiar with the changes but please let me know if you need any other information or if there's anything I can help with.

Thanks,
Denton
