[PD-dev] quick demo of git author garbage

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Hi list,Just a quick demo showing abuse of git's globals:https://puredata.osuosl.org/jwilkes/purr-data/commit/186d1f3064aa65869c850fb8816a49439c7e93c3
All I'm doing here is accepting a patch I made on a 
Windows machine that forced me to enter a user 
name and email addy in order to do a commit.
git has the good sense to punt on the question 
of secure identity management-- it lets you use 
pretty much any garbage you want and assumes 
the humans behind the screen will separate wheat 
from chaff.
However, the user-friendly tools that wrap around 
git (github, gitlab, etc.) don't make this clear as you 
can hopefully see. :)
