In multi-user environment it's sometimes very useful to know the real author of each changeset in the SVN repository.

I see there's "Edit author" in Tortoise SVN. Does this mean that anyone can do whatever and then just change the author name on that changeset so that the change is attributed to another user?

Can a real changeset author be identified?
