Ha, good catch! Behind the scences, git is actually using your private key to sign the commit. You're only specifying the ssh key git should ask ssh-agent about. You can also specify the private key and actually need to when not using an agent and the key is not available. See docs

OH! Now I see! Thanks for pointing that out.
