I tried to upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 Precise system to 14.04 Trusty (alpha) with "do-release-upgrade -d". I had etckeeper installed and configured to use Git. The upgrade failed at the very end, because etckeepers DPkg::Post-Invoke hook failed. The reason was that git user.name and user.email were not configured, but this was not an issue before the upgrade (i.e. apt/dpkg worked just fine).
