Perhaps a preference (off by default) demanding that they be set
explicitly when "git commit -m" is used?

Heh, what use would that be? On a different/new box you would have
neither that setting nor the email set, so that doens't solve the
problem methinks :P.

Workaround:

If you use "git commit -s" it includes a Signed-off-by line
which includes your name and email.

Seeing "Signed-off-by: root <root@localhost>" would give you a
hint that you should abort the commit, set the vars, and
try again.
