On Linux, we use the gecos information to come up with a sensible user
name/email. On Windows, there is no gecos. But there is something
comparable, and with these patches, we use it.

This has been carried in Git for Windows for three years, and is considered
mature.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  getpwuid(mingw): initialize the structure only once
  getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user name
  mingw: use domain information for default email
