No, git complains like that whenever you have not configured .gitconfig. I think it's a completly stupid warning message, and hate that git has recently started spewing it, but the warning message has nothing to do with how etckeeper is using git. > If I followed the advice git was giving me, I'd lose the ability to > distinguish which user on a shared machine made the changes. No, you would not; etckeeper's setting of GIT_AUTHOR_NAME overrides the .gitconfig settings that the stupid warning message encourages. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
