Yeah, you wouldn't believe the number of times I switched back and forth
while writing the patch. The variable is called "mail" in "struct
ident_split", so you have a mismatch at some point unless we rename the
local pointer.
I avoided doing that to keep the diff smaller, but perhaps it's worth
doing.

Yeah, I agree it is getting a bit complicated (I tried to introduce
helpers like set_pair to at least keep the per-variable work down to a
single line in each instance).
It unfortunately doesn't work to just pass the ".buf" of each strbuf. We
care about the distinction between the empty string and NULL here (the
latter will cause fmt_ident to use the default ident).

Yeah, I also considered that. You end up having to free() before
re-assigning throughout the function, though that is not much worse than
having to strbuf_reset() before re-adding (the reset is hidden in
set_pair, but we could similarly abstract it).
Here's what that looks like (this converts date_buf away, too, to avoid
relying on getenv()'s static return value):

I dunno. Maybe the set_ident_var helper is a little too cutesy and
obfuscating.
