So, just in case it was not clear enough, allow things in .gitconfig
like

[credential "https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/"]
username = doe4ever
name = John Doe
email = doe4ever@fedoraproject.org
[credential "https://gitlab.corp.com/"]
username = jdoe56874
name = John Doe, Snr Engineer
email = john.doe@corp.com

Instead of just

[user]
name = John Doe
email =  john.doe@corp.com
[credential "https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/"]
username = doe4ever
[credential "https://gitlab.corp.com/"]
username = jdoe56874

and drat, I've commited to XXX with the wrong name/email again
