Set git user and email

It would be great if this action would also set the email and name. In order to do other git operations it is required. I am adding this to my actions to get around it:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v1
  - name: Setup git user
    run: |
        git config --global user.name "$(git --no-pager log --format=format:'%an' -n 1)"
        git config --global user.email "$(git --no-pager log --format=format:'%ae' -n 1)"

Unfortunately I don't have access to the user email. It seems like these can come from the account in a more clean way here, but I guess I could also create my own action. Since this is so new I am not sure what the best way forward is so thought I would post here.

Start with the actions/checkout@v1 entry point and inspect how it currently configures Git. Compare the requested name and email behavior with the available account identity, then define the supported configuration and verify that subsequent Git operations can use it.
