If I change my name today, my emails that I sent yesterday won't magically update for everyone to display my new name. For some reason my birth certificate and all text ever written with my name won't automatically update. Clearly this was a ploy by the evil white mail crowed against the feminists, LGBT and minorities. ...or the author should get a hobby. What if I change my name/email address and I do want my old work to stay under my old identity. I might work for Foo Corporation and then move to Acme Corp. thereby changing affiliation and email address. Being able to better manage identities in a git repo would be a great feature, however in my opinion it's a shameful move to call the git developers "patriarchal", it is pure slander which I think has no place in a technical community. The author should either write a patch for git that implements what she wants, or write a new VCS altogether.
