The ContainerContext class contains a workaround to bypass the JDK bug JDK-4787931.
This bug should be fixed in JDKs > 7. We require at least a JDK 8.
Therefore we should be able to remove this

Currently if you run git-mit outside the project directory, it will write to the users configuration.

This leads to a confusing situation where the configuration can fail to change or other weird behaviour. I can't think of any reason that we'd want to write to anything other than the local configuration.

To fix this change how we load the repository never to use anything other than the repo

It would be great to improve the space used by the contributors table by spreading it across each line.
My guess is that making a 5 column-wide is enough.

note: not sure if markdown will be the right tool, but always remember that HTML is also accepted

When the setting commit.template has never been set, Git returns an error when attempting to read it. It itself this is fine (it is how Git works after all), but it would be good if Pair coud handle the case more gracefully.

Workaround:

1. run git config --global commit.template ~/.GIT_TEMPLATE
2. then run pair with "Alice <[email protected]>" again!
