    Description

      I have set-up a build with the git plugin - it uses polling, but it always fails with the following error seen in "Git Polling Log":

            [Fix JENKINS-16737] and [Fix JENKINS-10434] - no exception if author not found

            Return unknown user rather than throwing exception in GitChangeSet

            Refer to JENKINS-16737 and JENKINS-10434 for two cases where a
            GitChangeSet cannot find an author and throws a RuntimeException when
            it would be much better to report an unknown user and allow execution
            to continue.

            Added a Polish character to the accented character test

            Use more diacritics in the latin accented character test

            Use parameterized GitChangeSet test to better cover cases

            Fix should be in git plugin 2.2.8, preventing the plugin from throwing an exception even if it finds a case where the changeset author is null. It will return an unknown user rather than throwing an exception.

            Unfortunately, because I can't duplicate the problem, I can't be 100% confident that will resolve the problem entirely, but I am reasonably confident that getAuthorName will no longer throw a RuntimeException.

            According to JENKINS-25132, ci.jenkins-ci.org has that problem. So it may be possible to determine whether the fix works by upgrading Git plugin there.
