Some of my projects requires ASCII-only user.name,
instead of doing the right thing

	git config user.name <simplified-name>

I decided to set it globally instead.
I rarely need to type in my native language,
hence I don't have the IME software start with Xorg.

Hmph, but back in v2.20 days, you did have IME?

Back in the days, I had my IME started on logging in,
then to save some tiny time on starting up,
I turned it off.

In any case, if I were in such a situation to need my name spelled
differently depending on the project I work on, I would probably use

	$ git config --global user.name <simplified-name>
	$ cd <repository of git>
	$ git config user.name <name-with-accents>

or the other way around (depends on which projects your focus is on).

Yes, that's the the right way to do, but I didn't pick that way.
I'm going through my ~/src and fixing it.

Thanks,
