All of them doesn't seem really clear for me. I would like to ask\nif someone can elaborate on complexity of adding a genuine support for\nmultiple authors of the commit?\n\nAt this moment it looks like people can specify multiple names for author\nfield but still only one email, but most applications working with git\nrepositories (ex. gitorious) use email field to identify a person. I think\nat this moment adding possibility of adding more than one email in author\nfield could help.\n\nI've tried with using something like --author 'Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck\n<mickey@mice.net, donald@ducks.net>' and it worked but still I would prefer\nusing something like:\n--authors 'Mickey Mouse <mickey@mice.net>, Donald Duck <donald@ducks.net>'\n\nAdding such support sooner then later could prevent propagation of various\nworkarounds and enrich git with very significant functionality which\nbecomes fundamental in development nowadays.\n\nWith the committer I think it make sense to have a reference just to one\nperson who actually commits the code. \n\nWith wishes of fun with social codding,\nelf Pavlik\nhttp://wwelves.org/perpetual-tripper\n"}]}
