Initialize git repo and add dummy user and email to prevent fast-export from failing

Ghost User requested to merge (removed):master into master

The "fast-export: consult RFC 822 headers" test fails with this error:

src: execution of 'git config --get user.name' failed: Command 'git config --get user.name' returned non-zero exit status 1

Initializing git and adding a dummy git user.name and user.email makes the test succeed.

This happens on an OpenBSD/amd64 system running the May 4 2018 snapshot.
