Is there a way to suppress the user.name/email warning without configuring
them in .gitconfig? I want to pass them in SSH as GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL; git uses the values, but still warns me every time.
Seems like if git can get that data in any form, it shouldn't complain about
not having it. No?

Git should not be complaining if it gets the data from the environment.
However, you should also be setting GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL. Otherwise they will come from the passwd file, and
git will issue the warning.
