Run repo init with the --config-name option when initializing a new repo.

Note that this only matters if you actually create commits and share
them with other people.

You might want to set your git identity globally so that all your git
instances work as expected:
git config --global user.name "<your name here>"
git config --global user.email "<your email address here>"
