I don't quite understand. With push over _any_ transport you transfer commits from your repository to remote repository *without changing them*. Committer is a person who created a commit, i.e. did "git commit" (or "git am", or "git rebase", or "git merge"). The only place where user who did "git push" can appear in is _reflogs_ (I don't know if it appears or not)... but gitweb doesn't show wny reflog information. That of course can be improved... -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
