http-push: email address problem with LOCK_REQUEST?

Hi all,

Whilst fixing the git-format-patch "Signed-off-by identity bug", I
decided to have a look at the other calls to setup_ident(), to check
for similar problems. I noticed a couple of things that didn't look
quite right (see also next email).

In particular, http-push accesses git_default_email directly, using
it as part of a (DAV?) LOCK_REQUEST. However, since http-push does
not call git_config(), only the generic [off-list ref]
determined by setup_ident() will be used.

Now this may not be a problem. I don't really know what the email
address is used for in the lock request; it could have no effect
on the transaction at all, apart from perhaps some message text
in the web-server logs.

Also, there may be a reason for not reading the config file. I can't
think of one, but hey ...

Unfortunately, since my config has NO_CURL, I can't even compile
http-push.c, let alone test the change given below.

comments anyone?
