You can set the user.email and user.name globally with 'git config --global user.email ...' and the likes, but that only works if you use the same ID. It'd be nice if there was something that could be put in the global user.email to require each repository to override that. On one machine, my password file doesn't have my name in it, and I kind of get this behavior by default, but it be nice to be able to do it for real. Anyone have ideas on how this could be done? Dave
