Which only proves you don't want to be convinced, no evidence could convince you.

Most systems don't have a configured $EMAIL, so those defautls would be wrong.

It's so evident that no evide could convince you that you don't even bothere to answer my question:

Why does Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, and pretty much everything uses aliases?
