I changed StGIT to use the same configuration file as GIT and it cannot find the user information. To remove the error:

  git repo-config --global user.name Yann Dirson
  git repo-config --global user.email ydirson@altern.org

It probably tries to set the author information for the patch and GIT_AUTH* or GIT_COMMIT* aren't set but it would be probably useful to get the full backtrace of this error (at the end of the stgit/main.py file, just add a "raise" before sys.exit(2)).
