Hi  *,
  how can I forbid the gecos info and always force git to ask for an
explicit user.name and user.email?
  I use a different email for personal projects and for work projects,
using the same machine. So I set user.email locally in each
repository. But when I forget setting this I get
userid@hostname.(none) as the email. Is there a way to just die and
ask for this info (maybe user.AlwaysExplicit or something like that)?
  Thanks
  Santi
