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,
