I just Git init'ed a repos with a wrong user, and want to undo it. Is there any command for this? Do I actually have to go in and edit the .git directory?

The git init command creates a new Git repository. It can be used to convert an existing, unversioned project to a Git repository or initialize a new, empty repository. Most other Git commands are not available outside of an initialized repository, so this is usually the first command you'll run in a new project.
Deleting the . git folder does not delete the other files in that folder which is part of the git repository. However, the folder will no longer be under versioning control.
You can just delete .git. Typically:
rm -rf .git Then, recreate as the right user.

In windows, type rmdir .git or rmdir /s .git if the .git folder has subfolders.
If your git shell isn't setup with proper administrative rights (i.e. it denies you when you try to rmdir), you can open a command prompt (possibly as administrator--hit the windows key, type 'cmd', right click 'command prompt' and select 'run as administrator) and try the same commands.
rd is an alternative form of the rmdir command. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/rmdir.mspx?mfr=true
