Actually, thinking about this a bit more (and using it), I'm not sure that the best rule for showing the committer is "differs from the previous committer." For example, if I am building on Junio's git.git, the committer name is shown, even though I have made many commits in this repo already.

So if the goal is to show the committer name only when it "matters", I don't think you have succeeded.
