Make "empty ident" error message a bit more helpful.
It appears that some people who did not care about having bogus
names in their own commit messages are bitten by the recent
change to require a sane environment [*1*].
While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus
names to create commits and doing sign-offs, the error message
is not very informative. This patch attempts to warn things
upfront and hint people how to fix their environments.
