Vincent Ambo 93ba78d6f4 revert(3p/git): Revert merge of git upstream at v2.26.2
This causes cgit to serve error pages, which is undesirable.

This reverts commit 5229c9b232, reversing
changes made to f2b211131f.

user.name::
user.email::
author.name::
author.email::
committer.name::
committer.email::
The `user.name` and `user.email` variables determine what ends
up in the `author` and `committer` field of commit
objects.
If you need the `author` or `committer` to be different, the
`author.name`, `author.email`, `committer.name` or
`committer.email` variables can be set.
Also, all of these can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`,
`GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`,
`GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` and `EMAIL` environment variables.
See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] for more information.
user.useConfigOnly::
Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email`
and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the
configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
Defaults to `false`.
user.signingKey::
If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
