There are AFAICS really only 2 choices: 1. etckeeper can detect who su'd to root, and commit as them 2. etckeeper can allow git to use the default from $HOME/.gitconfig I have chosen the former, and I feel that is the correct choice. It may make sense to have a stable non-machine-specific email address used when committing to normal git repositories[], but etckeeper's git repository is not normal, it is highly machine specific and you *want* to see what machine the commit happened on, and ideally what user su'd to root. AFAICS, the remaining bug is that git complains prompting you to set up /root/.gitconfig needlessly when using etckeeper. Seems that can be fixed by etckeeper also setting GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL. -- see shy jo
