First, per user Git configuration doesn't necessarily go into ~/.gitconfig;
it could be in ~/.config/git/config

Second, you can configure user.email and user.name with `git config` or
`git config --local`.  The information would go into .git/config for
specific repository.  This might be a better solution if you want
different settings for different repositories.
