maybe someone can help me understand the problem detailed below. I presume
the question boils down to: 'can I "unset" the default user?' but
I am not sure. so:
the setup is as follows: a single checkout dir (containing also the fossil
repository itself) on a network disk that is assessed by several users
under their respective login name (but not simultaneously ...). all of
them have fossil users defined which are identical to their unix account
names. all of them have write access and do checkins to the repo.
until recently everything worked as expected, all checkins appearing under
the expected user names in the timeline. but now we had to add
a further user (same situation: unix/login name identical to fossil user
name).
and then the new guy executed
fossil user default {hisusername}
on the repo.
now _all_ checkins from _everybody_ appear under `hisusername'.
I now have the following questions:
-- my understanding is that there is always a default user defined which
initially is identically to the admin user creating the repo. that is
correct?
-- if so, why did it work the way it did (all checkins appearing under the
different users' names after a simple `fossil ci' without
using the `--user' flag) in the first place?
-- after the default user has now been explicitly set once to someone
else, even setting it back to the admin user does not restore the intended
previously observed behaviour. why?
-- is there a way to restore the initial behaviour, i.e. (it seems) a way
to effectively "undefine" the default user altogether?
I hope this description/question is clear enough.
j.
ps: and by the way, this peculiar setup (a single checkout used by several
users in turn) is concerned with some fun stuff of ours, not serious work
where this quite probably would be rather stupid ;-)
