If a user has set up both user.email/name and author.email/name in a global ~/.gitconfig, git will default to the global author.email/name when adding commits to a project automatically set up with git-clone-init

Sorry for late ( :-D) response. Do you have an example use case? The documentation says that user.name/email is used for both the auther and the committer if not specified otherwise. So why should there be a different setting for user and author? And if author is supported here, shouldn't also committer.name/email be supported? I am a bit affraid that it makes things a bit complicated?
