Isn't git-commit enough?
As I said, when you need to find out how to setup your authorship information. It's documented as deep as on the git-commit-tree level. BTW, the documentation is another important part of the plumbing/porcelain separation, it's not only about the list of commands but also that porcelain documentation should be reasonably self-contained and not require users to peek at plumbing docs in order to find out many stuff. It's also a consideration I take when maintaining Cogito documentation.
