I remember you said exactly the same thing before. But I wonder if "committer" e-mail address is really the place you would want to use as (one of) the source of reliable information for that kind of thing. The information obviously can be used among people who exchange commits via git-pull, but what about people whose changes are always fed as e-mailed patches? For such people, if they would want to encode the auxiliary information in their author name like you do with g5 and woody, would you recommend they put the in-body From: header, which may not be working e-mail addresses to reach them? - 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
