This should be obvious enough.

I didn't actually _test_ the tutorial, but if the old command worked, something is really wrong!

Maybe some new gitter wants to get dirty hands? We used to have a test which just replayed the commands in the tutorial, to make sure that new users would not hit a regression or a syntax change...

Might be a nice idea.

But don't commit SHA1's, e.g., depend on times, authors, etc., that we can't count on being the same? So you'd have to be clever to deal with stuff like

	git cat-file commit a344bd52

Also, note that I didn't even attempt to keep a consistent scenario throughout the first tutorial.

You can set all these by hand with the
	GIT_{AUTHOR,COMMITTER}_{NAME,EMAIL,DATE}

variables. In fact, the test script library already does that for authors (although not for dates, I think) to get consistent answers.
