Yes they go through. But no notification is being send that it did.
And you are left with that lame error message :{

The repo on the server has the notify extension installed, so that an
email is being send whenever a change to the repo happens.

Something tries to sanitize the incoming commit to produce those emails.
Most likely you don't have a valid username set in your hgrc.
The script expects each commit to have at least an author with a valid
email address (and possible full name).

Please setup your ~/.hgrc (or icedtea repo .hg/hgrc) to contain your
full name and email address, something like:

[ui]
username = Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp.org>

That makes the email notifications work nicely. And makes sure each
commit from you has a fully identified author associated with it.
