There is evidence for the claim that there won't be those problems. You have
absolutely no evidence there there will.

It's clear that you've not been able to produce evidence that can
convince most of the people on this thread.

Which only proves you don't want to be convinced, no evidence could convince
you.

I don't even think we need to query the user to fill out all of the
fields.  We can prepopulate a lot of the fields (name, e-mail address,
etc.) from OS specific defaults that are available on most systems ---
specifically, the default values we would use the name and e-mail
address are not specified in a config file.

Most systems don't have a configured $EMAIL, so those defautls would be wrong.

It's so evident that no evide could convince you that you don't even bothere to
answer my question:

Why does Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, and pretty much everything uses
aliases?

Since you are conveniently not answering, I'll answer for you:

Because such hypothetical problems wouldn't actually occur in reality with Git,
just like they don't occur in other tools.
