To all developers: Please set your name and email address locally using

  git-config user.name <your name here>
  git-config user.email <your email address here>

It is VERY important that the email address is valid, otherwise the
commit mail hook script will fail to deliver emails for your commits! 

BTW, the script now comes with support for git-gc, which means that
whenever there are more than 100 unpacked object files in the git tree
on doppio, git-gc will step in to clean up the repository. Auke: if you
think 100 is not enough or is too much already, then you can change
this using

  git-repo-config hooks.gcobjects <new value here>

That's it for now,
