If I forget to set user.email and user.name config options and do a commit
(possibly the --amend option also required to make this show up), then git
1.7.11.2 will drops me into an editor for a commit message, then after that
complain with the fatal message:
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you@xxxxxxxxxxx"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: empty ident name (for <ramana.kumar@xxxxxxxxx>) not allowed
The commit message I wrote is now lost. This is bad behaviour - the error
should happen before one writes the commit message, or the message should be
saved somewhere.
