At the time I added these to .stgitrc, the only place git was taking them from was the environment variables and I wanted to put them in a single place. I also didn't like the idea of having the committer e-mail address be some username@local-machine as I don't think the name of the machine where I create patches is relevant. I also define the committer/author per repository in the .git/stgitrc file (i.e. I use @arm.com for Linux patches and @gmail.com for StGIT). I use StGIT almost exclusively, even in "maintainer" mode and I would like not to spread the configuration options over many files. It is on my todo list to use the same configuration file as git (with a [stgit] section) since it has a format that should be understood by the Python config module. --=20
