So this is getting annoying. Now the company name literally means that
"git shortlog" shows you as two different people.

You're not the only one to do it, but the list of people who do it is
not all that long, and it doesn't actually seem to be a company rule
since (a) you've done it across companies and (b) other people at
google don't do it.

The company you work at does not define you as a person. Really. Is
there some reason why this is happening?

Can it be useful to see where people are working? Sure. But does it
have to be in every commit and affect things like 'git shortlog"? No.

Is there a company rule that just most others are happily ignoring?
