Issue description

Follow up to #11366 etc
If email or name is not set when opening GE, you should get a notification in settings. This will not occur if the email/name is set for the repo first opened but not a later repo.

This info is just for info in bottom left and is on activation of the form.
The info was changed in #10843 to show git-log info (not at all or GE config before). Should be included in 4.1.

The popup is a normal NBug. As the git-log command is on activation of the form, the popup appears immediately if you Ignore it.
You have to exit the application in NBug (which may be hidden) or task manager.
There are reports that this is a GE error, all NBug are seen as GE issues for some users, all text is not read properly.

• git-log should only get email/name on opening the form, not on activation. The status is only expected to be changed when FormCommit is closed.
• The NBug popup should be replaced with a special popup or rather hide the issue (no email/name is often shown when starting GE and definitely when actually committing so an extra popup is not needed in my opinion).

Steps to reproduce

• Remove user.email and user.name fro global .gitconfig, not in repo config
• Open Commit
• Dismiss the popup

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?

"git-log" added to 4.1 (?)
