>Automatic setup? Put that info in the global config file. If git had to prompt for it, it would naturally place that info in the per-repo config file (absolutely would not make sense to automatically modify the global one)
You're thinking of implementation details, but prompting for and placing the info into ~/.gitconfig is what a newbie git user almost always wants. What's wrong with doing this?
