No, I am not.

That is well possible. Quoting in shell is such a hassle, and I never seem 
to get it right.

Therefore I did a minimal test, namely committing with another 
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME (which has spaces in it), and then commiting again, with 
"-c HEAD". Which did what I expected: the second commit had the same 
author name as the first one.

So I thought that it was okay.
