Hi,
on a new machine I have access to, I fetched tonight's git master
(git version 1.5.3.7.g9758e) and installed it on my account in order
to clone one of my projects. I did not setup anything in my git
config and stumbled on the following misfeature:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ git clone ssh://login@host/~/path/git/project/.git project
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/me/git/project/.git/

*** Your name cannot be determined from your system services (gecos).
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 <me@fqdn> not allowed
[last 11 lines repeated 3 times!]
fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only the same 11 lines of error message were printed 3 times, but
also the command returned 0!
This is not user friendly at all. So I thought I'd point this out on
this ML.
Cheers,
