Possibly Xcode only just started caring about username and email and yours were always like this. That message looks to me like a generic .gitconfig was set up in a directory somewhere.
Try this - go somewhere which doesn’t have a git repository at all, like /tmp, in a terminal window, type
git config user.email
git config user.name
That should show you the globally configured email and name. If they are right then you probably have another .gitconfig in the actual project or somewhere between it and your home directory. If you go to the directory of the project you’re having issues with and type the same commands, do you get the same thing? If you get the myname@mymachinename.(none) then that’s coming from a .gitconfig somewhere between your project directory and your home directory. Or do the brute force approach and, from your home directory run
find . -name .gitconfig -ls
it won’t be quick, but it will hunt out every git config file and you can go look at them.
If none of those things is the case, then it seems Xcode has SCM issues again.
I also would say that using SourceTree is a better plan anyway and it’s worth learning to drive git from the command line which is what I do most of the time but it’s worth figuring out where Xcode is reading this stuff from.
