Yeah, that's the only way you'd be able to change the author — create a new commit object, with the same changeset, with a different author line. If there are any commits applied on top of the old, misspelled one, you'd have to reapply all of those on top of the new amended commit, too. (Each commit object contains the ID of its parent, and a commit ID is a hash of the content, so changing the parent changes the commit ID. Recurse all the way up to the top of the branch...) It can be a pain. git filter-env automates much of this, but then you still have to have everyone reset over to the new top of the branch. –doug
