[PATCH] user-manual: Use "git config --global" instead of editing ~/.gitconfig

From: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>
Date: May 10, 2007, 21:53 UTC
Message-ID: <200705102353.31821.johan@herland.net>

Use git-config for setting global user.name and user.email rather than telling the user to edit ~/.gitconfig directly. This brings user-manual.txt in line with tutorial.txt.
