What is this even supposed to mean? I fail to parse that sentence in both
original and modified forms.

Looking at 401d53fa350 (Teach fast-import to ignore lines starting with
'#', 2007-08-01), where the comment was added, I deduce from the commit
message that the personal pronoun _was_ actually intended.

So maybe a better way to express the original intent would be this:

	# comment added by $GIT_COMMITTER_NAME; fast-import should ignore it
