Public bug reported:
I can not do commit -a
It fails with the message
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'tim@whitlam.(none)')
the error message helpfully suggests
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "y...@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
I have done these steps for my user name, but the error persists.
This happens with a new git (git init) and with cloned repositories.
