 You changed your mind then?  You said you wanted to have something that
 prevents a commit from being made immediately after git-init before
 per-repo user.name is properly configured.  Doesn't that echo achieve that
 goal?

But that was in the context of the initial patch where I said that I
wanted different name/emails in each repository.

To summarize, the problem is that I work in different projects
(private/work/git/...) using the same account, but I want different
identifies (name/email) in each. So I set user.name and user.email in
each repository, but when I forget to set them git uses the default
ones (userid@hostname.(none)).

Hope I have explained it well.

Try:

        $ mkdir -p /var/tmp/junk && cd /var/tmp/junk
        $ git init
        $ echo '[user] name' >>.git/config
        $ >foo
        $ git add

and tell me what you see.

That's why I gave you the example of setting "[user] name"
(notice I did not say [user] name = 'Santi's name for this project')
to force you to configure it to whatever you want.
