The last patch in this series deprecates name and email config in stgitrc by not mentioning them in the example stgitrc, because teaching newbies to use yet another layer of identity configuration on top of what git already provides is madness. Old-timers may continue using stgitrc for that purpose for now (but as you say, integrating the configuration with git is on the TODO list). --=20 Karl Hasselstr=C3=B6m, kha@treskal.com
