+committer.email::
+	The `user.name` and `user.email` variables determine what ends
+	up in the `author` and `committer` field of commit
+	objects.
+	If you need the `author` or `committer` to be different, the
+	`author.name`, `author.email`, `committer.name` or
+	`committer.email` variables can be set.
+	Also, all of these can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`,
+	`GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`,
+	`GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` and `EMAIL` environment variables.
+	See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] for more information.
