+- Improve distinction between author and committer meta-data:
+  - When creating commits honor GOT_AUTHOR as the default value for both
+    fields, with an option to override the 'author ' field in the commit
+    object (displayed as 'from: ' in got log) with a name + email-address.

+    objects otherwise.

+    field intact but reset the 'committer' field to the value of GOT_AUTHOR.
