git-svn bug with blank commits and author file
 
When trying to import from svn using an author file, git-svn bails out
if it encounters a blank author. The attached patch changes this
behavior and allow using the author file with blanks authors.

I came across this bug while importing from a cvs2svn repo where the
initial revision (1) has a blank author. This doesn't break the behavior
of bailing out when an unknown author is encountered.

NAME
----
git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file


SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin] [--] <file>...

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
object database.  Reports its object ID to its standard output.
This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the index
without modifying files in the work tree.  When <type> is not
specified, it defaults to "blob".

OPTIONS
-------

-t <type>::
	Specify the type (default: "blob").

-w::
	Actually write the object into the object database.

--stdin::
	Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
