Lying is already possible with GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME,EMAIL,NAME} 
environment variables.

Of course it is possible!  I even pointed to a method!

The _point_ was that we do not want to recommend it.  And giving prominent 
support for it, such as introducing a command line parameter, _would_ 
have the effect of recommending it.
