Hi all, We are in a situation where we would like to use author information that is different from committer information when we commit to certain repositories. Currently, it looks like there are two ways to do this, and I'm not sure how to make either of them work well. There are the GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_AUTHOR_NAME environment variables, but these would have to be set globally. Also, there is the --author command line switch for the "git commit" command, but this is easy to forget to use. Is there something I'm missing? If not, I would like to propose the addition of author.email and author.name settings to the git-config system. Additionally you could add committer.name and committer.email, but the only reason I bring the committer variations up is consistency since I see you also have GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variables. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't think either of us is on the mailing list, so please keep us in CC's when you reply. Thanks, William
