By setting this new variable the user can squelch undesired noise the
previous change introduces, but the user can just set user.name and
user.email to desired values to squelch it anyway.
Or the user prefers the automatic ident.
So either this new variable is superfluous, or the previous change is too
susceptible to produce false positives that need squelching with such a
variable, or both. In any case, not a very good sign.
For me it is superfluous, as I prefer to see what is the committer
ident when it is generated.
I even said I prefer just showing the automatic ident. I sent it in
case it was decided it was worth.
