You have to make sure the fields are set within a global git configuration. Did you set this within a previous clone using "git config"? If so you need to make sure you use "--global" option to write it to your user configuration file so that it is persistent across multiple repositories.

Not sure if that is what your problem was or not, it is unclear from the information provided.
