But that was in the context of the initial patch where I said that I wanted different name/emails in each repository.

To summarize, the problem is that I work in different projects (private/work/git/...) using the same account, but I want different identifies (name/email) in each. So I set user.name and user.email in each repository, but when I forget to set them git uses the default ones (userid@hostname.(none)).

Hope I have explained it well.
