+Configuration
+=============
+
+Per-user configuration
+----------------------
+
+Each committer should define a couple of shell variables to identify herself
+with git. The given information will be used to set the author/comitter
+information by git:
+
+    $ grep GIT_ .bashrc 
+    export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Stefano Zacchiroli"
+    export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="zack at upsilon.cc"
+
+This way the "Author" line in your commits will be something like:
+
+    $ git log | grep Author -B 1
+    <snip>
+    commit 61521da701a50ad6a82356a61fab17a4694bb7b5
+    Author: Stefano Zacchiroli <zack at upsilon.cc>
