Is there a reason why you don't want or can't set those details?

Well, they don't exist so there's nothing to set.

The machine below its a CubieBoard used for testing. I remote into it
with test@. As a matter of policy, no check-ins occur on it. Other
than the password database and authroized_keys file, there is no
information on it to be lost or stolen.

One thing I forgot to ask you.  Are you reporting "I have used this
exact procedure to set up a test machine in the past and did not
have this problem, but with newer Git I get this message and cannot
cherry-pick or tag or do anything"?  Or is this something you
noticed with a version of Git you happened to have?

I am trying to make sure this is not reporting a regression, as I am
not aware of any recent change that wanted to make the "unconfigured
user" detection stricter than before.

Thanks.
