      In the Repository settings, Advanced tab - The Use global user settings checkbox is checked by default. The information is filling in correctly, from the SourceTree for Windows Options > Default tab > Default user information. However in the Commit Graph view, the Author column shows unknown for name, and a bizarre email address that seems to consist of the Windows user @ computer name.

      If I uncheck the User global user settings checkbox and retype the information, exactly as it existed before, and save it, the Commits show the name and email correctly.

      It appears the default override for Global user settings isn't overriding the repository settings.

      Another developer who sits next door to me, has similar behavior in SourceTree for Windows, except the email address is always correct, but sometime it shows his first and last name and sometimes it shows first letter of first name and lastname.

      Desired functionality would be the Full Name and Email from the global user settings would consistently override all Git repo settings in SourceTree for Windows.
