Description

When Atom is opened with a project root that is not a git repository, the "Git Identity" view is always shown (with empty username and email) even when both are set in the global config.

Steps to Reproduce

1. mkdir -p ~/src/not-git
2. atom ~/src/not-git

Expected behavior:

The "initialize a repo here" pane should be visible.

Actual behavior:

The "Git identity" pane is visible.

Additional Information

My guess is that this is caused by the default implementation of State#getConfig() in non-Present repository states.
