This is why I gave fossil the ability to PGP sign check-ins.  If a  
check-in is PGP-signed, you have high confidence of who created it.   
There are also features to track when various artifacts were pushed to  
a server, to help track abuse.  Of course, somebody can still create  
an unsigned check-in with a forged user-id.  But in a regulatory  
environment, you simply ignore unsigned check-ins.

Doesn't git also have the ability to PGP-sign check-ins?  I seem to  
remember reading that, though I have never actually tried to do it.
