If not provided, "git-commit-tree" uses your name, hostname and domai= n to provide author and committer info. This can be overridden by either .git/config file, or using the following environment variables. (...) The "If not provided" part doesn't make sense. If you're not setting th= e author and committer in your config or environment, how are you suppose= d to provide it ? Naively, I tried sending a "git-cat-file commit" looking text to stdin, but it just ended up in the changelog, which was actually no surprise. Mike
