Update git-tar-tree documenation a teensy bit: document where the file times come from and correct author section. I'll take the blame for that contraption, if you don't mind. ;)

Good - this was what I intended to have happen all along :)

Also Junio suggested a more general attribution - which I have now put into eg git-mkdelta.txt

Git is written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>.

I'll generalise the rest of the files at some point and respect any more specific atributions.
