Support per-path identities by configuring Git like
$ git config user.<pattern>.email <email address>
e.g.
$ git config user.github.email sschuberth+github@xxxxxxxxx
In this example, the middle "github" pattern is searched for
case-insensitively in the absolute path name to the current git work tree.
If there is a match the configured email address is used instead of what
otherwise would be the default email address.
Note that repository-local identities still take precedence over global /
system ones even if the pattern configured in the global / system identity
matches the path to the local work tree.
This change avoids the need to use external tools like [1].
TODO: Once the community agrees that this is a feature worth having, add
tests and adjust the docs.
