[Freeswitch-users] git push invalid format

[Steven Ayre]

Plus it's rather annoying to do so (rewrite history). The identifier of
each commit is a hash computed from the content of the commit plus the
metadata which includes the authors. Changing the author would change the
identifier of the commit. That then changes the identifier of every commit
afterwards. That then breaks every checkout / fork based off the tree as
they no longer know where they are forked from. And since identifiers have
all been rewritten we would no longer know what version you were running,
or what version bug reports were reported against.

(that's why git makes it easy to amend your latest uncommitted commit
message but rather difficult to edit any others)
