I like the idea of recognizing environment variable syntax in config files,
at least a feature that would allow *some* config variables to be specified

unaware of (like the  issue you made me aware of above).

I don't think there are any security issues; if you control the
environment, you can already execute arbitrary code with git.

Now we just need somebody to volunteer to implement it. :)
