not at all. please continue "bothering" us; such feedback means we
know what things are perceived as problems, and therefore should be
changed or fixed.

yup. that statment returns a table containing a table containing a
string. you need to return just a string:

function get_author(branchname)
    return "steve"
end

I really ought to put some more thorough docs up about the hook
functions, and/or a little sketch of the lua language, since it's
similar-but-not-identical to several languages one might already know.
