Well, I'm wary of putting
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=joel.becker@oracle.com as a permanent part of my
environment, for fear of overriding some other authors at some point.

The weakest default comes from .git/config so you could have
this in your .git/config:

	[user]
        	name = Joel Becker 
                email = Joel.Becker@oracle.com

and you can have GIT_AUTHOR_* override it as necessary.
