I think considering the machine's mailname is perhaps not necessary. As I see it, there are two significant divisions of use-cases here:
1) The ones that bug 549310 was filed about, where users are committing revisions to be shared with the world, and the email address really really ought to be a valid configured email address. 2) The ones who are managing an /etc-in-bzr, where <local-unix-user @machine-hostname> is probably the exact most useful thing that we could record anyway. Could we not just add a branch.conf boolean setting (and corresponding switches to 'bzr init', 'bzr reconfigure') which reverts to the previous behaviour? -- bzr commit error because of no identity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
