It is just `git commit` now. It does not suffer from the problems that
prompted the author/committer split:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/209635
To expand on what I wrote there, we cannot hit case 2 because we always
ask for the committer within the same process. Case 1 is not
interesting, because we would only fail to show it if is identical to a
non-implicit committer (so even if it was implicit, we know that it is a
sane value).
