Wrong author name in git commit

Fri Mar 16 13:21:13 UTC 2012

I don't understand what is going on...
That's what I have in global git variables :
# git config --global -l
user.name=Romain Forlot
user.email=rforlot at yahoo.com
color.diff=auto
color.status=auto
color.branch=auto

And that's my git config file in the cloned repository :
# cat .git/config
[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[user]
	name = FORLOT Romain
	email = rforlot at yahoo.com
[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/user-guide.git
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "f16"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/f16

# cat ~/.ssh/config
Host *.fedorahosted.org fedorapeople.org
User rforlot

But when I'm commiting, it always show me wrong user except when I'm
using 'git commit -a --author "..."' method. At least now, I do a good
commiting, I think, by following guide to using git in docs project :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_work_using_git
And I doesn't see my commit into git repository.

I have configured my ssh public key into my FAS account and is
corresponding with that of user I'm using to edit files and commiting.
I do cloning of repository by using ssh link which ask me my
passphrase. I enter my passphrase, git do cloning fine.
Then I switch to F16 branche, do my changes and test my commit. But
see no changes into :
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=docs/user-guide.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/f16

Why so much hate ? :)
