Hi,
git is unable to construct a reasonable default email address in my
current environment. So, I use GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
to override things.
This has worked well but, now, I need to vary the email address for some
repositories. Unfortunately the environment variables override
.git/config.
It would be good if things were like:
- try to construct one automagically
- use ~/.git/config (if available)
- use .git/config
- use environment variables
That way I could set my default email address in ~/.git/config and
override it as required for those repositories that need it.
Thanks,
Anand
