Yes. You can pass '--format=full' to `git show` or `git log` to see it. There is surely a lower-level way to get the information too. But, you can make the fields say anything by changing the value of 'user.name' and 'user.email' in '.git/config' or by setting GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME. See the man page git-config(1).
