Hi,

One quick question if there are any git experts our there. I understand how to set the historic date and include the historic commit messages and even provide the authors in the commit message itself, but for some reason git will not allow me to actually set the commit author to anyone who does not have his/her own git account username and password.

Is there some way to override the setting of author that gets into the commit history?

If not, I will just clearly add the authors information to the commit message so that the proper author gets credit.

Thanks,

KevinH
