Note that the user for the commit is 'jon', and the link points at cgi to
create users/jon. I was wondering if that is configurable for users pushing
via git. It would be nice perhaps to specify it in some way, perhaps via a
git-config setting (user.name?). I'm not too familiar with exactly what the
changeset contains. -- [[JonDowland]]
