Our workflow: we tend to launch gitx or git-gui, review our changes and build up appropriate commits, then remember we want to commit as a pair.  Back in the terminal we `hitch matt george` then switch back to whichever git GUI we’re using.  When we make a commit, it’s under an individual, not the pair. Bummer.

The problem with that workflow is we’re not relaunching the git GUI, so it’s not picking up the environment variables exported by the `hitch` command.  Once we relaunch, we’re good to go and our commits are attributed to the pair.  Nice.
