Yes that might be true to a certain extent. The documentation was
originally for LilyDev 2.6. version 3.0 has only really been 'recently'
cut and uploaded AND tested.

All I can say is that I didn't get that when I tested this with Federico.

When you run Lily-Git for the first time it should prompt for your email
and user name (this then applies this to $LILYPOND_GIT/.gitconfig (I
think - but it's as if you were in $LILYPOND_GIT and run the git commands

git config --global user.name "John Smith"
git config --global user.email address@hidden

)

This assumes (I assume!) that you are running this in $LILYPOND_GIT.
