From 925f9187697acfdbd7dbfe15e8420e1d3a671433 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2006 01:20:06 -0800 Subject: Make "empty ident" error message a bit more helpful. It appears that some people who did not care about having bogus names in their own commit messages are bitten by the recent change to require a sane environment [*1*]. While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus names to create commits and doing sign-offs, the error message is not very informative. This patch attempts to warn things upfront and hint people how to fix their environments.

Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their environment early, but some people just use repositories and git tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident. This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var" asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we are already safer in that we would not end up with commit objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields. However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover". This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.
