From b00f6cfcd7232d90c4625c42eb9694d4ed2dc615 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 19:26:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ident: reword empty ident error message There's on point in printing the name, since it is by definition the empty string if we have reached this code path. Instead, let's be more clear that we are complaining about the empty name, but still show the email address that it is attached to (since that may provide some context to the user).
