You _really_ want to script this.

Also, I'd seriously suggest you avoid using ".git/HEAD" _and_ writing to 
.git/HEAD in the same command. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

So script it with something like

	#!/bin/sh
	export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$1"
	export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$2"
	tree=$(git-write-tree) || exit 1
	commit=$(git-commit-tree $tree -p HEAD) || exit 1
	echo $commit > .git/HEAD

and now you can just do

	commit-as "John Doe" "jdoe@foo.com" < changelog.txt

or something like that.

The git commands really are designed to be scripted.
