Use testhelper.CreateTag to have a Git ident

Zeger-Jan van de Weg requested to merge zj-set-git-ident-tests-remoteservice into master

Locally I can't run some tests as Git would like to know the identity of the user creating new objects. In my case these object creations get the following message:

testhelper.go:184:
        *** Please tell me who you are.

        Run

          git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
          git config --global user.name "Your Name"

        to set your account's default identity.
        Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

        fatal: empty ident name (for <zegerjan@callisto.localdomain>) not allowed

Now, this leverages system packages on the Git side to determine the identname. In our case I think the best way to move forward is just to use the testhelper.CreateTag(), which sets the ident for us.
