Whoever is using this tool while replaying an existing commit likely wants to export these two variables _into_ this command from the outside, and this function will not interfere with it.

But for other uses, do we need to export these variables? After all, this matters _only_ when the command we spawn wants to know the idents to be used, but they can ask git-var themselves to cover both cases, whether the environment that called this tool already had the ident environment variables or it didn't.

So I am not sure what value this step is adding to the series.
