Search-Commits-For-Email.py

"""
Search all of your repositories for commits that contain your email address.
If you realized that you have made some commits with a private email address, you can use this script to find those commits
so you can then take relevant action to preserve your privacy.

This will NOT find commits in repositories that you do not own - those are a different story.
