Package: git-annex
Version: 3.20121009
Severity: important
Hi Joey,
This is the first time I used git-annex and to my surprise it failed.
I was folowing the walkthrough [0].
-----
§ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rjc/annex/.git/
rjc at thor in [ ~/annex ]
± git annex init "iBook"
init iBook
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "y...@example.com"
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 <rjc@thor.local
> not allowed
git-annex: user error (git

exited 128)
failed
git-annex: init: 1 failed
-----
git-annex fails to read $HOME/.gitconfig, which of course contains the
required configuration.
rjc at thor in [ ~/annex ]
± head -n 3 $HOME/.gitconfig
[user]
name = $my_name
email = $my_email
Adding the above to .git/config solves the problem.
