It's difficult to know, because the help for commit talks a bit about
author, and other than that there seems to be not much documentation
about setting the author vs. the committer (or likely, there is a lot
such documentation but I haven't found it). But the semantics would
have to be very weird to make incorrect to set the real author of the
committed code :-)
