Fix for empty ident error using older git

[In this snippet](http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/157-Installing-compiling-and-using-git-with-Ruby-on-Rails-on-Mac-OS-X-Leopard-and-Debian-Linux-) Christian explains how to fix the empty ident error using a bleeding edge git. In older git versions this must be done manually. So if you get this error... ```bash *** Environment problem: *** Your name cannot be determined from your system services (gecos). *** You would need to set GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME *** environment variables; otherwise you won't be able to perform *** certain operations because of "empty ident" errors. *** Alternatively, you can use user.name configuration variable. fatal: empty ident <[email protected]> not allowed ``` ... then add the following parameters to your /.bashrc\\ file\\ and\\ source\\ it\\ with\\ ./.bashrc (or relogin, alternatively): ```bash export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Marko Haapala" export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="Marko Haapala" ```
