`git pull` is `git fetch + git merge / git rebase` in disguise, so we should be ready if git will want to create a merge commit or do a rebase automatically (and potentially create new commits with `Committer` set to the current user). `git fetch` and `git clone` alone, `git branch`, `git checkout` etc don't care about the email (as of 2.14.1), even if `user.useConfigOnly` is set to `true`. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Anatolii Borodin
