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

	This configuration is something I have the opportunity to forget
every time I call git-clone.  So I still need to leave it in the
environment permanently.
	Am I correct in assuming that "From:" lines will override the
environment when using git-applymbox?  If so, I guess leaving
GIT_AUTHOR_* in my environment permanently will be ok.
