[PATCH 1/4] ident: remove unused author_ident_sufficiently_given()

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Oct 30, 2026, 17:39 UTC
Message-ID: <20261030173956.585250-2-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To: <20261030173956.585250-1-gitster@pobox.com>

A pair of functions {author,committer}_ident_sufficiently_given() were created to replace user_ident_explicitly_given() in d6991ceedc (ident: keep separate "explicit" flags for author and committer, 2012-11-14).

But author_ident_sufficiently_given() is never used in our history. We only check if committer ident is sufficiently given and use it to nudge the user to set user.{name,email} configuration variables.

Remove the unused author_ident_sufficiently_given() function.
