After upgrading to latest tortoise git I get error below. When I commit from the command line, this works without error. I executed the global command but error persist.
MrTux gave the correct answer and but in a comment, I just want to make sure that this is marked as answered.
In .gitconfig (I added it in global) this works:
[user]
name = <your name>
email = <your email>
[safe]
directory = *
