Sound like a problem of startup directory: on the command line you
start from the right directory...when you double click on which repo
qgit is open ?

None of course. But when I open a repository manually I would expect that
this is properly filled in.

In git.cpp, Git::userInfo() function get info about user by means of
'git config' calls, my guess (I cannot it test now) is that 'git
config' does not work if we are not in a git directory.

And if I launch qgit with the context menu (right clicking a directory in
the Explorer), qgit never managed to open the repository.

This is a bug that I never managed to get rid of :-(

It is strange because it works if you try in a subdirectory, as
example try right clicking on 'src' directory of qgit project.
