You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:

   git config --global user.name Your Name
   git config --global user.email you@xxxxxxxxxxx

If the identity used for this commit is wrong, you can fix it with:

   git commit --amend --author='Your Name <you@xxxxxxxxxxx>'

1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

I'll never see this message myself, but I think you could (and
perhaps should) replace almost all of that with:

 Your name and email address were configured automatically.
 See "git config help" for information on setting them explicitly
 or "git commit help" if you wish to amend this commit.

I don't have a huge problem with your wording, except that it needs
s/(\w+) help/help \1/.

Whoops.

Mainly I was trying to hand-hold because not having this information set
up means it may be your first commit, and you are probably a bit
clueless (the exceptions are people who have been using git, but are
seeing this new behavior in their new version, and people who have git
configured on another machine but are using _this_ machine for the first
time).

Fair enough, but I'm sighing here at the thought of people jumping in and using git commands without even having looked at _any_ of the zillions of "your first 10 minutes with Git" tutorials out there, which pretty much _all_ start with how to set up your user.name and user.email...

Cheers,
Wincent
