  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

Setting global mail / name lets me continue but it would be nice if there would be a way around setting / unsetting it for every update.

I also encountered the same problem while building the package in a clean chroot. My workaround was to give a domain to the machine (in my case in chroot).

/etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 hostname.localdomain hostname

Thanks @schlagenhauf for reporting the issue and @goekce for sharing your workaround. I've pushed a patch based on environment variables. The issue should be fixed now.
