From 6c293d408dbbd0206e80df3ecda7f1620cadaa94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Santi=20B=C3=A9jar?= Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 12:30:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ident.c: reword error message when the user name cannot be determined MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The "config --global" suggested in the message is a valid one-shot fix, and hopefully one-shot across machines that NFS mounts the home directories. This knowledge can hopefully be reused when you are forced to use git on Windows, but the fix based on GECOS would not be applicable, so it is not such a useful hint to mention the exact reason why the name cannot be determined.
