If `user.name` and `user.email` have not been configured and the user invokes: git commit --author=... without specifying the committer identity, then Git errors out with a message asking the user to configure `user.name` and `user.email` but doesn't tell the user which attribution was missing. This can be confusing for a user new to Git who isn't aware of the distinction between user, author, and committer. Give such users a bit more help by extending the error message to also say which attribution is expected. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
