I'm close to finished with a series that I think will at least make it

Here it is. I was able to replicate the original problem by munging my
/etc/passwd, and I've confirmed that this series fixes it by skipping
the related test. I also added in a test for the early-quit behavior
introduced by f20f387. It can't run everywhere, of course, but it seems
we have at least one tester whose system will run it (and I did confirm
that it works with my munged /etc/passwd).
One other option is that we could introduce a
GIT_PRETEND_THIS_IS_MY_GECOS_NAME variable. That would let us wrong both
sides of the test on all systems. I just hate to add an interface that
will be carried around in production code just for the sake of a test.
