In git the information is embedded in each commit, so it's a point in
time address.  Think of it like the email address you use on the mailing
list.  You can change it in the future, but it doesn't update past
emails that you sent with a previous address.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
