An empty user and email it does not mean failure. Again, I would think
that is git config that returns no data (without failing) if it is run
from outside git directory.

Yes ! it is like this, I have finally had the possibility to test.

git config does not returns user and mail if run outside git dir
because user and mail are local set.

So how do you explain this:

C:\>git config --global user.name
Abdelrazak Younes

C:\>git config user.name
Abdelrazak Younes

I get the same result in any directory, git repo or not.
FYI, I never set the name locally, just once and globally.

Abdel.
