Bug ID: 985383 Summary: git-annex inoperable because git user.email config variable ignored Product: Fedora Version: 19 Component: git-annex Severity: high Priority: unspecified Assignee: mathstuf@gmail.com Reporter: sdeasey@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, mathstuf@gmail.com

Description of problem:

git annex can't read the user.email variable from ~/.gitconfig even though it exists, and refuses to operate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

git-annex-3.20121009-3.fc19.x86_64 git-1.8.3.1-1.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

$ mkdir test1

$ cd test1

$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jo/test1/.git/

$ git annex init init *** 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: empty ident name (for <jo@machine.(none)>) not allowed

git-annex: user error (git ["--git-dir=/home/jo/test1/.git","--work-tree=/home/jo/test1","commit-tree","4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"] exited 128) failed git-annex: init: 1 failed

$ git config --global user.name Jo $ git config --global user.email jo@example.com

$ cat ~/.gitconfig [user] name = Jo email = jo@example.com

$ git config --global user.email jo@example.com

$ git config user.email jo@example.com

$ git annex init init *** 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: empty ident name (for <jo@yo.(none)>) not allowed

git-annex: user error (git ["--git-dir=/home/jo/test1/.git","--work-tree=/home/jo/test1","commit-tree","4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"] exited 128) failed git-annex: init: 1 failed

Actual results:

git-annex: init: 1 failed

Expected results:

The annex repo should be initialised with the settings from ~/.gitconfig

Additional info:

env | grep GIT <nothing>

Tested with a fresh user account.
