	This configuration is something I have the opportunity to forget
every time I call git-clone.  So I still need to leave it in the
environment permanently.
	Am I correct in assuming that "From:" lines will override the
environment when using git-applymbox?  If so, I guess leaving
GIT_AUTHOR_* in my environment permanently will be ok.
