Details:

When attempting to perform a fast export of the grub bazaar tree to a git
repository, I found a few errors within the source repository. These errors
are commits that have been tagged with an empty Author. The exact commits are
Revision 3144 that was commited on March 30th, 2011, and Revision 2266 that
was posted on March 24th, 2010. These can be confirmed by doing a quick grep
of the bazaar log using the following command:

bzr log | grep author\:\ $ -a4



as for the Fix, Change the log entry to remove the empty author field, and
then the bazaar repository can easily be exported to other repository
software.
