Description of problem:
Right now the only possible way to set an environment variable is through a pre-hook, which requires the variables to be in git. If I can put them into git, I can put them into my code directly. The beauty of ENV variables is
a) I don't need a new commit just to change a variable
b) They are protected. I might have 20 developers of which NONE are allowed to know our database passwords and Facebook secret ids. git is NOT a solution to this kind of data.
Overall, git is not built to protect sensible information.

We've got a story to cover this, and it's being tracked internally.  We're working on getting the roadmap elements laid out online.  Transferring to Krishna to organize and get slotted into the roadmap.
