From d3c06c196964c02f7343b53301e0e85679fad51f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marios Titas Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 22:29:43 +0300 Subject: ident: give "please tell me" message upon useConfigOnly error The env_hint message applies perfectly to the case when user.useConfigOnly is set and at least one of the user.name and the user.email are not provided. Additionally, use a less descriptive error message to discourage users from disabling user.useConfigOnly configuration variable to work around this error condition. We want to encourage them to set user.name or user.email instead.
