Yes, you could pretend to be somebody else. As Onno wrote, this config 
setting is only to fill in fields at commit. But there is a feature in 
git to sign (with gpg) your changes. I havn't used it, so I don't know, 
if this would solve it. Maybe Onno knows more? (on the other hand, I 
think, its easy to check ... I can check it, more later ...)

cu, Thomas
