If the string is empty the error is [Error: Failed to parse signature - Signature cannot have an empty name]. The fetchAll() function does not take a signature parameter, and ends up calling repo.defaultSignature().\n\nTo reproduce:\n$ git config --global --unset user.name\nor\n$ git config --global user.name ''\n\nSetting the system or local user.name makes no difference.\nAs far as I can tell there is no way to set the default user name other than via the command line.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/alexmcarthur","@type":"Person","name":"alexmcarthur"},"datePublished":"2015-02-26T20:57:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/431/nodegit/issues/431"}
