I mean that there's not much value in having my past commits listed as coming from various "different" authors: Jonathan Wakely <xxx at compsoc.man.ac.uk> Jonathan Wakely <xxx at kayari.org> Jonathan Wakely <xxx at gmail.com> Jonathan Wakely <xxx at gcc.gnu.org> Jonathan Wakely <xxx at redhat.com> All of those "identities" are the same person, so making all my commits use the same Author is arguably correct, even if I was using different addresses at different times. Using the @gcc.gnu.org address for all my past commits might be the least worst option, because it's "me" and that address was valid in 2004 and is still valid now, unlike the other options.
