If we stop using GECOS, then can we please start using $EMAIL (or perhaps use it regardless of whether we use GECOS or not)? A lot of applications seem to look for $EMAIL and I think that it's universal enough for git to use it as well. To me it seems that both GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL can use it, as I set $EMAIL as EMAIL="Nikolai Weibull <something@something.something>" Perhaps I should provide a patch instead of just putting out requests?, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!
