Mimic what is done in git-import.sh and git-import.perl Signed-off-by: Mike Hommey <mh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- And that made me wonder if it wouldn't be worth, actually, to have git config user.name and git config user.email return the "magic" values gotten from guessing in ident.c when no value is in the config. That would allow scripts, which have no other simple means to get the user name and email, to have the same feature as builtins. contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl | 6 ++++-- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl b/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl index 23aeb25..39c091c 100755 --- a/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl +++ b/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl @@ -14,8 +14,10 @@ die "usage: import-tars *.tar.{gz,bz2,Z}\n" unless @ARGV; my $branch_name = 'import-tars'; my $branch_ref = "refs/heads/$branch_name"; -my $committer_name = 'T Ar Creator'; -my $committer_email = 'tar@xxxxxxxxxxx'; +chomp(my $committer_name = `git config user.name`); +chomp(my $committer_email = `git config user.email`); +die 'You need to set user name and email' + unless $committer_name && $committer_email; open(FI, '|-', 'git', 'fast-import', '--quiet') or die "Unable to start git fast-import: $!\n"; -- 1.5.4.1.48.g0d77 - 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
