Yes, ec563e8153cba89728a271a26c8a94e7a42d8152 made user.email take precedence over $EMAIL, but it also made the constructed email address take precedence over $EMAIL. It made fmt_ident prefer git_default_email to $EMAIL, and git_default_email is set to the constructed email address by setup_ident if it's not already set by user.email.

no, ec563e8153cba89728a271a26c8a94e7a42d8152 is about making the emails and usernames be taken from EMAIL iff there is none specified in the different .gitconfig's (which is sane as $EMAIL is a system wide default setting and that .git/config is definitely meant as an ovveride of that setting).
