Comment on Why does GitHub let me commit as other people?parent

It could make sense for future versioning systems to separate author from committer.

git supports this:

% git config --get user.name

Original Committer

% git commit -m "Test" --author "Test Dude <test@example.com>"

% git log -n 1 --pretty="%cn, %an: %s"

Original Committer, Test Dude: Test
