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.
