I asked the GIT people some time ago and they were OK with porcelain tools postings here. They should let me know if it become annoying. You could also use https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit for reporting bugs (or search for previous reports). > I did the "stg pull" as root, did not set any of the > GIT_AUTHOR_* environment variables and did not create any kind of git > or stg configuration file.

A quick fix is to run: git repo-config --global user.name "Adam J.

As Yann said, there is already a bug logged for this issue. I also think there is a different issue mailed me yesterday with the same thing when pushing a patch, even though the patch author/committer information was already in the patch metadata handled by StGIT. I'll have a look at this. -- Catalin
