I'm on a test machine. All I do is update to the latest code, build the library and run the self tests. The test user account does not have a name and does not have an email address. There's nothing to provide. There's no reason to break my workflows for useless Git policies like "please tell me your email address". Its not my policy, and there's nothing critical about it. Jeff ********** $ git pull *** Please tell me who you are. Run git config --global user.email "you@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: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'test@via.(none)')
