5351	Incorrect author in timeline and log - GitPlugin shows committer instead of author	egagnon@j-meg.com	hvr	When the author differs from the committer, GitPlugin seems to favor the committer over the author as "Trac Author". This has impact in the timeline, log, and various other locations.\r\n\r\nGitPlugin seems to have this concept of "Trac Author" in addition to "git-author" and "git-committer", as can be seen on: http://sablecc.org/changeset/1a3b6173986aa9cfc694acba0ecbbb7e40028f22\r\n\r\nThere might be reasons why a project would like to show the committer name, instead of the author name, in the timeline and log to show committer activity. Yet, other projects might have very few, or even a single committer in their official repository, as encouraged by Git. In such a case, it might make more sense to show the real author name in the timeline and log.\r\n\r\nI suggest using a configuration flag to chose which of the git-author or git-committer to use as "Trac Author", so that everybody is pleased.\r\n	defect	closed	normal	GitPlugin	normal	worksforme		peter@stuge.se	0.12
