In fact, you might use "git commit" (or "git var -l" which probably shows the same 8-second thing more easily without needing anything else) as a way to debug what it is that takes too long. Because even though adding your email to yout .gitconfig file is the right solution _anyway_ (because the git guess is rather more flaky than you just telling it what host to use), I bet there are other programs that will have the same 8-second delay, and you are better off trying to just fix your DNS problem.
