fatal: empty ident <user@server> not allowed

[elvi...@quantacn.com]

Hi I'm a new player for gitolite, I'd like to install gitolite by
"from-client" way I've create a user named git and created a key pair
named "id_rsa_git" and manually to add its public key into /home/
git/.ssh/authorized_keys. Then I run gl-easy-install from client. But
it says -

*** WARNING ***: looks like an upgrade... ignoring argument
'admin'

copying post-update hook to gitolite-admin repo...

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "y...@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident <git@elvis-laptop.(none)> not allowed


**ABORTED**

Please check messages above carefully, fix whatever is needed, and try
again.
Note that the problem may be on the server, not necessarily on the
client.

I've set user.email and user.name by above comments.


elvis@elvis-laptop:~/tmp/gitolite/src$ git config -l
user.email=git@elvis-laptop
user.name=git
core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
remote.origin.url=git://github.com/ossxp-com/gitolite.git
branch.master.remote=origin
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master

Any idea about this? I've stuck here for days and traveled many
documents but so far it didn't work.

this method is now deprecated... sorry

I think that is pretty clear, and it is a git error not a gitolite error.

Git, from 1.7.something, started *requiring* those two config items.

Are you meaning the script "gl-easy-install" is now deprecated?
