I keep a local project in a git archive. After the last upgrade I get a ident error when trying to commit. It works after I set the environment variables. What I don't like is that the error comes up after I have typed in my comment, then my comment is lost, that's frustrating. The other thing is I don't care if the commit is coming from a valid person, why require this?
