Allow configure without --global on git?

Today I tried to re-generate an ebuild and I'm using a machine that's shared so I don't have set global email and username. Maybe there is a way to allow to do this just locally?

--git-email bla@bla.com --git-name "My name" flags maybe?

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'user@machine.(none)')'

I know it's a bit of pain, but thank you for considering it.
