Sorry, no. There's a lot of small factoids like this one, so if we
start mentioning them, it's a slippery slope, because we will get
pressured to mention more and more by people who must have everything
in writing for them to accept it. I object to making our
documentation a Git tutorial. Once again, people with write access to
the repository are expected to know how to use Git. Besides, many, if
not all, mistakes in the value of --author will be detected by Git
itself and rejected.
