OK, so I'm wrong on that point for all the popular DVCSes now.

It's also true that for current practice, most code is contributed by
merging branches, where the contributor is the committer in her local
branch.

Nevertheless, the point stands that (in the U.S. at least), the
copyright owner has the legal right to obfuscate the link between an
author and the particular lines of code they contributed to, while
under the contributor agreement the copyright notice will be
preserved.
