Is there any particular reason to have the author and committer names in ~/.stgitrc? Simply taking them from the same place git does would probably be a usability enhancement (unless they're specified on the command line, of course).
At the time I added these to .stgitrc, the only place git was taking them from was the environment variables and I wanted to put them in a single place. I also didn't like the idea of having the committer e-mail address be some username@local-machine as I don't think the name of the machine where I create patches is relevant. I also define the committer/author per repository in the .git/stgitrc file (i.e. I use @arm.com for Linux patches and @gmail.com for StGIT). I use StGIT almost exclusively, even in "maintainer" mode and I would like not to spread the configuration options over many files. It is on my todo list to use the same configuration file as git (with a [stgit] section) since it has a format that should be understood by the Python config module. -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
