The initial idea was to store them only if the user requested on the command line. I later added the configuration file and they were always set.

I pushed a patch that allows stgit to work with the git defaults if there is no configuration available. Let me know if you find it OK so we can close the bug.

BTW, we should get a 0.12.1 release out with some bug-fixes.
