The committer field generally identifies the committer "physically", and isn't usually overriden. You'll find <xpasky@machine.sinus.cz> in my committer field, e.g.

No, that is something totally separate from the usual concepts of branches and repositories, designed to make it possible to distinguish between repositories etc. from the outside of the system.
