Have implementation, but currently blocked on libgit2/libgit2#4214

Looks like there was a bugfix in libgit that fixes this issue (libgit2/libgit2@86a8cd9), but it needs to get release via (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/releases) and vended into the latest cargo image for libgit2-sys https://github.com/alexcrichton/git2-rs/tree/master/libgit2-sys

We can either merge and document the known issue or hold off until those issues are resolved (or move away from symlinking).

@sentientmonkey Has the version of libgit that you need for this been released yet? It would be great to have a --global option :)

I'm on a team with 4+ repos and it would be nice to be able to set authorship once. Anything I can do to help?
