+# The user section is intentionally left undefined here, because the name and
+# email I want to use for commits varies between contexts and machines (most
+# notably when I'm on a work machine). I therefore use an un-versioned script
+# in ~/.profile.d to do this that looks something like the following:
+#
+# GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Tom Ryder'
+# GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='tom@sanctum.geek.nz'
+# GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
+# GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
+# export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_COMMITTER_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
+#
