Description of problem:

git annex can't read the user.email variable from ~/.gitconfig even though it
exists, and refuses to operate.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

git-annex-3.20121009-3.fc19.x86_64
git-1.8.3.1-1.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:

$ mkdir test1

$ cd test1

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jo/test1/.git/

$ git annex init
init  
*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you at 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 <jo at machine.(none)>) not allowed

git-annex: user error (git
["--git-dir=/home/jo/test1/.git","--work-tree=/home/jo/test1","commit-tree","4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"]
exited 128)
failed
git-annex: init: 1 failed

$ git config --global user.name Jo
$ git config --global user.email jo at example.com

$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
    name = Jo
    email = jo at example.com

$ git config --global user.email
jo at example.com

$ git config user.email
jo at example.com

$ git annex init
init  
*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you at 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 <jo at yo.(none)>) not allowed

git-annex: user error (git
["--git-dir=/home/jo/test1/.git","--work-tree=/home/jo/test1","commit-tree","4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"]
exited 128)
failed
git-annex: init: 1 failed


Actual results:

git-annex: init: 1 failed


Expected results:

The annex repo should be initialised with the settings from ~/.gitconfig


Additional info:

env | grep GIT
<nothing>

Tested with a fresh user account.
