I don't fully follow. Do you mean that because other operating
systems choose not to make full use of an /etc/mailname file when it
is present (and instead use per-MTA configuration), git should not
take advantage of it to choose an appropriate email address?
Or do you mean that on non-Debian systems, the FQDN for localhost is
reliably the mailname, just like on Debian systems /etc/mailname is
supposed to be?
Confused,
Jonathan
