Instead of --reset-author, --author=Morley should have worked (reuses
the last author matching "Morley" or something like that). Or, if the
author has no previous commits or only commits with a bad address or
name,
--author="Thomas Morley <address@hidden>"
--reset-author may be nice for your case, but more frequently is the
situation where you are committing a patch for somebody else.
