An example of a suboptimal error message (this is caused by a merge conflict when user/email is not setup): Synchronization error for projecttest

Remote merge failed with message: *\ Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "you@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 rschulz3@newton0.local not allowed
