First of all, I apologize in advance for cc'ing the busy git

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. -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
