It does, if you know how to specify the committer info. Which the man page specifies how to provide:

This can be overridden by either `.git/config` file, or using the following environment variables.

        GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
        GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
        GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
        GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
        GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
        GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
        EMAIL

Hth, Dscho
