Basically, I had the same issue. The error occours because no .gitconfig will create during the setup of 3.2.4. or you have missed to check the checkbox to create user information during setup wizard.
Open Sourcetree and check "File status" - you will see that there no user is available:
Fix the Issue
Close Sourcetree
To fix the issue open the explorer and navigate to: C:\Users\
Open the folder with your username
In this folder you should have a file with name ".gitconfig". If the file not exist, create it (It is no typo, the name will written with the dot at the beginning of the filename: .gitconfig
Open the existing / new file with an editor and add the following lines to the end of the file
[user]
name = User
email = Email
For "User" use a standard name (It is not the Windows Username meant)
For "Email" use a standard email Address
Save the file and start Source Tree again. You will see now, that a user is available in the "Status History".
BTW.: You can find your old user data in your last commits:
Go to "History" and select a commit. Here you can see in the commit information for the "Autor": Your old data. You should use the the same data as before to keep the structure:
