Using 'git' name legally ok?

0 votes
231 views

I realize this is probably a strange question, but my employer wants to make sure we can freely use the 'git' name in our documentation and even our internal git.server.org DNS structure without risk of legal problems. I'm not sure who to contact for this "officially" as there isn't an email address on the project page, other then the mailing list. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In git version 1.8.2.3 (in arch) I'm getting this message when doing git commit -a

fatal: empty ident name (for ) not allowed

I get this message in a brand new repository. I'm getting the same message in Ubuntu 12.10 which has 1.8.1.2

The message suggests I do

Run

 git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
 git config --global user.name "Your Name"    to set your account's default identity.

but I've done this

[tim@newton git_scratchpad]$ git config -l
core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true

git works as I expect on another machine with 1.7.9. I'm at my wits end and I don't know what to do.

I just finished building and installing git on my Android device. After testing, I'd like to build it in such a way that I can tarball and upload/send it.

Are there any make targets that would allow me to do that or do I need to rebuild with the NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS option and install to a stage directory...like /usr/git or /usr/local/git?
