Today I was glad. I 've been able to compile git on a maanged server.
git clone did work as well however running

to be executed. (the first one)

Before examining that I asked at #git and got the tip to set
user.name and user.email which I did. Then I verified that git
git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT and git var GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT
both printed some values.

I still got the failure above.
I've fixed it for my case by setting
git_default_name and git_default_email just before the check within the
ident.c file (line 76)..

However I want to ask wether I've hit a known problem and wether you
would appreciate me debggung this issue any further?


I can assure you that people are capable of fetching, pulling and
committing with git. I do it all day long at least.

Can you post your ~/.gitconfig (and/or .git/config) file, please?
In conjunction, I also need to know the exact username you're using
on your system.


Maybe I should add that I've been running that git from the build
directory if that matters. The version is 1.6.0 from the official
mirror site.


If you'd been running 0.99 I'd have been worried. 1.6.0 is pretty
solid.
