I think for older changes you can't rely on analysis of git output.
Although the change to the author header in a49ff80c24 makes no sense in
isolation, it was probably making up for past changes such as

https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-diffs/2013-06/msg00134.html
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-diffs/2013-06/msg00310.html

(I guess ChangeLog attributions weren't accurately mapped to git authors
when the repository was converted.)

See in particular
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg01101.html
