Have you two known that more than one environment variables can be set for one-shot command execution?

	$ GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$author" \
	  GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$email" git commit -F .msgfile

would give these environment variables for this "git commit" without affecting the later commands.

Not that this really matters, since the above example was an excerpt of my suggestion about how to do this in a script, somehow made to look as if it was a suggestion about running things by hand from the command line...
