 And that made me wonder if it wouldn't be worth, actually, to have
git config user.name and git config user.email return the "magic" values
gotten from guessing in ident.c when no value is in the config. That would
allow scripts, which have no other simple means to get the user name and
email, to have the same feature as builtins.
Or perhaps use "git var GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT"?
The only problem I see with this approach is that lots of uses of
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT require regex'ing the output to remove the date
(see git-am, old git-commit and git-tag...)

Maybe adding another variable not containing the date would be a
good idea?
