I intentionally don't set user.email in my ~/.gitconfig because I use
different identities (on the same machine) depending on what project I
am committing to (open-source vs. work).  After I clone a repo, I *rely*
on Git reminding me to set user.email on my first commit, because I
invariably forget to set it myself.  And for me, *any* universal,
heuristically-determined email address would be wrong for me for at
least some repos.
