PatchSet operations fail from local git user.name configuration

[ndhaller]

During "edkrepo clone" and "edkrepo checkout", Dynamic Branch Creation PatchSet operations fail with generic git failure messages if local git configurations have not set a user.name and user.email.

To reproduce, clear global user.name and user.email configuration before clone or checkout command on a project and combination that implements a PatchSet recipe.

git config --global user.name ""
git config --global user.email ""

edkrepo checkout [Combination]
...
Failed to cherry pick the commit [commit SHA]
Failed to apply one of the patchset operations. Checking out back to the default branch

Directly running git revert and git cherry-pick commands confirm the failure is from user.name and user.email local git configuration and not from the patchSet recipe.

git cherry-pick --continue
Committer identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

Possibly add a check for non-empty git user.name and user.email at the start of patchset operations and exit with a new edkrepo error message instead of attempting the git cherry-pick/revert commands and failing with generic git failure message.
