Subject: [PATCH] $EMAIL is a last resort fallback, as it's system-wide.

```
From: Pierre Habouzit <pierre.habouzit@m4x.org>

  Rationale: $EMAIL is a system-wide setup that is used for many many many
applications. If the git user chose a specific user.email setup, then _this_
should be honoured rather than $EMAIL.
