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. Signed-off-by: Marios Titas <redneb@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
