Feature Description

Currently if you set a full name, despite setting DEFAULT_SHOW_FULL_NAME to false it will still commit messages on the web interface with the author set to your full name. Emptying the full name field sets the author name to your username.

Am I missing the point of the profile and having a full name present to identify when using an alias/username? Because as it stands, if you want commit messages from any CRUD operation via the web interface to be authored under your username you cannot have a full name set. This in turn causes a mismatch in git history where you may have a local username set which differs if performing web operations as a result of the full name taking priority.
