Reply to comment by Moonside in Anyone know an easy way in git to change the author/email of all commits by a specific author in a remote repo without changing the commit hashes themselves? by hollyhoppet

But it is mutable? After doing some research, I've found you can change it just like you can change a commit message using ammend or filter-branch. I guess you could say it's a design oversight that there's no author object spanning commits, but that's an engineering problem that comes with its own headaches, and filter-branch will let you change the commit history alright.
