Hi,

Sure!  Just check in the file "gitconfig" and tell the good users that 
they can append it to their config with "cat gitconfig >> .git/config".

Or have a script "gitconfig.sh" containing calls to "git config" which the 
users can execute.

But you should not _force_ people to have a certain config.  It's their 
choice.

Ciao,
