Author ident should be reachable e-mail address but some people seem to prefer committer ident to be tied to the actual machine even if that makes the ident something that merely resembles a valid reachable e-mail address but in fact unreachable. For such a committer ident, taking it from hostname would be a reasonable thing to do, but I suspect that is a minority. Unfortunately we do not have an easy way (other than using GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment) to define different author and committer idents. - 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
