Hi,

I've written a patch that allows `me` to be used as shorthand for $(user.name) or $(user.email) in the `--author` and `--commiter` fields.

The purpose being to make finding your own commits quicker and easier:
     git log --author=me

Is this a change that would be accepted if submitted? The only thing it's currently missing is unit tests.

Regards, Harry
