It doesn't. :)

It was actually a personal private computer until I left that area and opened up the password. I overlooked changing 'git config user.email !@#$'.

The opposite issue is also capable of happening. Don't misunderstand, I completely acknowledge the fact that this is a very difficult issue to solve and fundamental to git design.

May I quote you on that? I think I focused too much on the cool factor and not the problem I was trying to address. (Which you summed perfectly.)

I acknowledged that. It's one of those features that isn't perfect when implemented.

There should be a way to stop these commits from happening under my name without going to the computer physically or rewriting history every time it happens. And that only works if you have access to the repository.
