Easy enough. Just add

From: Jeff Lance <j-lance1 at ti.com>

to the beginning of the message and `git am` will take this for the
author field.

        $ git help am
        […]
                "From: " and "Subject: " lines starting the body override the
               respective commit author name and title values taken from the headers.
        […]

I do not know where this can be configured, but it should be.


Thanks,

Paul
