Screwed up AUTHOR field for two commits.

The topmost couple of commits in the "master" branch made from your patches are incorrectly attributed to me.

What happened was that I stumbled upon a merge conflict during git-rebase, and ended up hand committing these two without carrying the authorship information forward from the original commits. This usually does not happen because I always use JIT tools for rebasing, but this time I was trying to stay within the set of core GIT barebone Porcelain.

I apologize for the screwup.
