[Bug 1646917] [NEW] git email address isn't updated when amending a commit

[José Luis González]

Public bug reported:

If I change my email address and then amend my last commit I would
expect the email address to be updated to the new address, however the
old one sticks (it doesn't get updated).

Git is version 2.7.4-0ubuntu1 on xenial.
