One thing I forgot to ask you.  Are you reporting "I have used this
exact procedure to set up a test machine in the past and did not
have this problem, but with newer Git I get this message and cannot
cherry-pick or tag or do anything"?  Or is this something you
noticed with a version of Git you happened to have?

I am trying to make sure this is not reporting a regression, as I am
not aware of any recent change that wanted to make the "unconfigured
user" detection stricter than before.

Thanks.
