Interesting point you bring up. According to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12296255/git-pull-rebase-changes-the-commiter-name-to-my-name
Doing a rebase will update the committer field. I like to do these anyways since it will avoid the extra "Merge blah blah" commit in the history. I don't know how to do this without using a remote though... git remote add NAME URL git checkout NAME/branch git checkout -b mybranch git rebase master git checkout master git merge --ff-only mybranch git push apache master Anyone else have ideas?
