Today, I needed to use git merge's --allow-unrelated-histories. Unfortunately, that flag isn't supported by the version of git provided by debian jessie. So I added a new git-bleeding-edge subuser based on a custom image which is based on debian sid. Easy. But then, I got an error:
> subuser run git-bleeding-edge merge --allow-unrelated-histories subuser-standard/master
*** 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 name (for <(null)>) not allowed
Well that's easy enough to fix. But wouldn't it be even cooler if the git-bleeding-edge subuser shared its home dir with my normal git subuser, so that I wouldn't have to set up git twice? Or perhaps, a different option would be to make it easy to switch which image was used by a subuser?
