Hi list,Just a quick demo showing abuse of git's globals:https://puredata.osuosl.org/jwilkes/purr-data/commit/186d1f3064aa65869c850fb... All I'm doing here is accepting a patch I made on a Windows machine that forced me to enter a user name and email addy in order to do a commit. git has the good sense to punt on the question of secure identity management-- it lets you use pretty much any garbage you want and assumes the humans behind the screen will separate wheat from chaff. However, the user-friendly tools that wrap around git (github, gitlab, etc.) don't make this clear as you can hopefully see. :) -Jonathan
