Description Szymon Brandys

We need to ask to set the mail and name in the user profile, before first clone or init. Otherwise commits will be done with empty or some default name and mail.

Git Init and Clone takes the user name/mail from the user profile and create new repos with these settings. Could these Git operations report an error when the user profile does not contain these two settings instead of falling back to some env value?

User name and mail are not needed when cloning a repo, they shouldn't be required. Same should be true for initing a repo, it's not in Orion case due to a workaround introduced for bug 339610 in JGit, see bug 339609 comment 1. We should get rid of the workaround, make sure we are able to handle repos with no HEAD and disallow committing when no name/mail is available (which afaik already takes place).

I will have a loot at it during 0.5. It's a low priority though.
