Hello All,

I guess this can be extended for any number of root directories. Like,
when a consultant has multiple employer email ids.

This sounds great and it would enforce at commit time, which as
pointed out, is the correct time to do it. If for some reason it is
not adopted I at least hope that we have a simple global config which
specifies that user must set email for each repo and to ignore any
global config.

Am sure this can be done via hooks, but I would like something that is
really simple for newbies and companies to enforce with minimal
instruction.

* Will try what Igor and Grant Humphries suggests.

* Thank you all for your replies, and a big thank you for git - its a
great tool. I used to dream of something like it when I was stuck with
svn (pre 2010 I was introduced to git late.)
