This can probably easily be fixed by giving git an email. Could you test
the attached patch ? It should fix the problem, but I have no easily
available host with no domain to test it today.

magit use git, and for some operation, git ask for an email (for author
and committer identification). If it does not know one, it will
guess. For a user on any machine this can easily be fixed by running

  git config --global user.email me at example.com
