In git.cpp, Git::userInfo() function get info about user by means of 'git config' calls, my guess (I cannot it test now) is that 'git config' does not work if we are not in a git directory.

This is a bug that I never managed to get rid of :-(

It is strange because it works if you try in a subdirectory, as example try right clicking on 'src' directory of qgit project.
