Re: git-PS1 bash prompt setting

I glued that in my system bashrc with the extension, that it shows to me
user.email out of repo-config, which is also very handy. So I am always
reminded to set my user.credentials in .git/config and i always know which 
role i play in the repository i am working at.

I think there is something wrong if the user needs to be
_constantly_ reminded who he is.  Care to explain?

There was a talk on the list about making "git-commit" (and
"git-merge" that does not do a fast-forward) refuse to proceed
until user.nameemail are explicitly set in the configuration.  I
think that particular implementation is a bad idea because it
punishes people who have set up their GECOS and hostname sanely,
but at the same time I do understand that people who just
started to use git would be very unhappy to learn that their
names were misspelled in GECOS field only after accumulating a
couple dozen commits.
