[PATCH 2/2] ident: make the useConfigOnly error messages more informative

From: Marios Titas <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:09:07
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The env_hint message applies perfectly to the case when
user.useConfigOnly is set and at least one of the user.name and the
user.email are not provided. Additionally, use a more descriptive error
message when that happens.
