~/.git/config ?

Hi,

git is unable to construct a reasonable default email address in my
current environment.  So, I use GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
to override things.

This has worked well but, now, I need to vary the email address for some
repositories.  Unfortunately the environment variables override
.git/config.

It would be good if things were like:
	- try to construct one automagically
	- use ~/.git/config (if available)
	- use .git/config
	- use environment variables

That way I could set my default email address in ~/.git/config and
override it as required for those repositories that need it.

Thanks,
Anand
