Dear diary, on Fri, May 26, 2006 at 06:33:25PM CEST, I got a letter

I backup my $HOME using git, so there's a .git directory in ~.

Then it should be called ~/.gitconfig. :-)

I just wanted to point the fact that ~/.git/ could not be used :)

I don't think a global config file is really needed but it would be
nice if .git/config would override the environment variables, not the
other way around.

Then you have no other way to override .git/config e.g. when committing
patches submitted by other people.

git commit --author "name <email>"
