From 3f142468997f9d14d8051a96b2e9db265d41ac0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:29:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] commit: suggest --amend --reset-author to fix commiter identity Since the message advises to fix the configuration first, the advantage of using this command is that it is cut-and-paste ready, while using --author='...' requires the user to type his name and email again.
