Hi,

I've just discovered fossil and try to find may way through some
initial hurdles. One is the following. The command

  fossil new -A "abc" test.fossil

returns the error

  Cannot figure out who you are!  Consider using the --user
  command line option, setting your USER environment variable,
  or setting a default user with "fossil user default USER".
  fossil: cannot determine user

but

  USER=abc fossil new test.fossil

works. I expect both to do the same (according to the help text
displayed by 'fossil help new').
I'm using fossil version 1.24 [8d758d3715] on OpenSuse 11.4.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Frank
