Git source-code viewer does not use the authenticated user name, but the git user name

description

E.g., if I set my user name at global .gitconfig as "name = bill.gates" (which is not my CodePlex user-name), but push the code while authenticating with my real CodePlex user-name (which is "john.doe" for example), CodePlex assumes that Bill Gates made the commit, and creates a link to his user profile in the source-code page. In this way I can push codes in the name of people who did not do that.

Also I would prefer that I use my full-name instead of my user-name and expect that CodePlex automatically link it to my profile.
e.g., if my CodePlex user-name is "john_doe", I would like to set my global user-name as "John Doe" instead of "john_doe", and after pushing the code, I expect that CodePlex Source-Code browser link the name "John Doe" to the "john_doe" user profile.
