title: How to specify git author/committer for PullRequest merge in Azure DevOps?
body: <p>I have defined a release pipeline to synchronize code between two git repositories in Azure DevOps. The process requires a PullRequest in the destination repo which is created and completed using the WebAPI.</p>
  <p>The pipeline is executed by the build agent running using a Windows domain service account. So, the PullRequest is created and completed on behalf of the service account, which is also mentioned as author, committer, etc. in the git history after merge is completed. (According to our rules the PR must be merged using squash commit.)</p>
  <p><strong>I would like see a different user in the git history after (squash) merge.</strong></p>
  <p>Can I specify the user (e.g. the user triggering the release pipeline) using WebAPI?
  I did not find such option in the API documentation.</p>
  <p>Any other recommendation? Maybe convention like adding &quot;co-authored-by&quot; to commit message like github?</p>
