Author here. Yeah, the lack of authorship (and any kind of user awareness, really) is a pain. There are so many ways in which Git has simply failed. It was basically an experimental piece of software designed for a hypothetical world which never really eventuated. Truly distributed version control (code shared between different servers) turned out to be a fringe use case, and the vast majority of all collaborative developed source code has a primary repository. So it has all these features built around the edge case, and a lack of features for the primary case (many users, with different levels of trust, contributing to one repo). Gitless is pretty cool. http://gitless.com/ http://gitless.com/
