Allow configure without --global on git?

[awesomebytes]

Today I tried to re-generate an ebuild and I'm using a machine that's shared so I don't have set global email and username. Maybe there is a way to allow to do this just locally?

--git-email [email protected] --git-name "My name" flags maybe?

Run

  git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

I know it's a bit of pain, but thank you for considering it.

That sounds quite reasonable to me. Ultimately, I'd like superflore to have config files, as the options are starting to get extensive (and nobody is going to enjoy typing them all out every time).

For now, though, I can probably introduce that.
