BTW, I wondered why we need to store author and committer info in the patch dir. Shouldn't the info from the Git commit be authoritative ?

Also, a quick glance at the code lets me think those information are only changed in a patch when explicit flags are given to various commands. Shouldn't we, in addition set committer to current user during refresh, and possibly non-forwarding push ?

Best regards,
