Tim,

If you're just looking for a way to quickly switch the author information
quickly between individual commits.  You could create a shell alias for
each of the programmers that does:

   export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="some name" GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="name@where.com"

This will override the global and per repo configured author information
for all subsequent commits.

HTH,
Sean
