I glued that in my system bashrc with the extension, that it shows to me
user.email out of repo-config, which is also very handy. So I am always
reminded to set my user.credentials in .git/config and i always know which 
role i play in the repository i am working at.

I think there is something wrong if the user needs to be
_constantly_ reminded who he is.  Care to explain?

Yes, you are right. It sounds a bit strange. I try to setup a pool of 
configuration data for several linux-boxes which are kind of equal in a 
git repository.

Normally I just pull the config-branch from the repository to the
particular box, but sometimes i have to test the config and alter it...
and other people do as well. And therefore i like to be reminded
constantly who I am.

I glued that in the system bashrc, so I have it for services which
run as users and which configuration data has to be edited by the
services user... also here, several people are working on that machine
and make changes.

Sincerly
