How to manage pair- programming code check in user identification?

How to manage pair- programming code check in user identification?

How do you identify users when a programming pair checks in code? I heard
a complaint that, often a junior dev will be at the keyboard, using
his/her account, but is not going to be the best person to ask questions
about the code being checked in (the more senior dev is likely to have the
best answer).
Is this really a problem? Seems like a programming team could think of
some way to identify pairs and get the necessary information in their
version control software.
I also think they're not benefiting from this process if both programmers
don't know what their code does.
