Hi list,

Just a quick demo showing abuse of git's globals:

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. :)
