I know that, but I still don't want to set user.email globally because then I risk accidentally polluting a repo with the wrong routable email address if I forget to override it locally. ./dev should not be this opinionated. > > Furthermore, if user.email is a genuine requirement in order to > > proceed successfully (although I can't think why it would be), then it > > should abort when it is not set, rather than simply complain and > > proceed anyway. > > It is because github is a super whiny whiner otherwise. OK but that shouldn't break creation of the local .releases repo, so AFAICS something else must broken. In case you didn't notice in the output I sent, there were errors like this: cp: cannot overwrite non-directory '/home/adam/SUSE/crowbar2/./.releases/cloudera-build/change-image' with directory '/home/adam/SUSE/crowbar2/./releases/rails3anddb/cloudera-build/change-image' which sound much more serious than a bit of whining about email addresses. _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list Crowbar@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
