Gmail decided this mail is spam, probably because of the "apologize"

mailing list with problems about stgit.  The stgit web page at
http://www.procode.org/stgit/ says "Please report bugs to Catalin
Marinas and copy the GIT mailing list."  I would feel less guilty
about whose time I was spending on reports like this if there were a
separate stgit-users list.

I asked the GIT people some time ago and they were OK with porcelain
tools postings here. They should let me know if it become annoying.
You could also use https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit for reporting
bugs (or search for previous reports).

        I did the "stg pull" as root, did not set any of the
GIT_AUTHOR_* environment variables and did not create any kind of git
or stg configuration file.  No doubt I could work around this by
setting up some kind of configuration file, but I should not be
required to do so, especially just to do a "pull".

A quick fix is to run:

git repo-config --global user.name "Adam J. Richter"
git repo-config --global user.email adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

        I don't mind that a version control system might log user ID
and email addresses somewhere, but it should still work if I do not
wish to provide that information.

As Yann said, there is already a bug logged for this issue. I also
think there is a different issue mailed me yesterday with the same
thing when pushing a patch, even though the patch author/committer
information was already in the patch metadata handled by StGIT.

I'll have a look at this.
