That I guessed, but there is no way to forbid commiting deleted files
at once...

Yes I tried this too.
Again, git is too old here and ENOSPC to distupgrade yet.

Found out in man pages one can either use ~/.git/config with .ini like
sections:
[user]
        name = "François Revol"
        email = "address@hidden"

or
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="François Revol"
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="address@hidden"
export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="François Revol"
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="address@hidden"
which I've done in the project-local .profile.


François.
