So that the code would look like the following, instead:

  my $git = new Git::Cmd; # or Git::Standalone, or Git::CommandFactory
  my $repo = eval { Git->repository() };
  $git = $repo if $repo;

and later use

  $git->config('sendemail.identity');


By the way, git-svn can use command(...) instead of $repo->command(...)
because it sets $ENV{'GIT_DIR'} if it is unset... but I don't see
where Git.pm inserts 'git' to commands list...
