On inspecting 0.43's 50vcs-commit, I see that git uses GIT_COMMITER_*,
hg users LOGNAME, and bzr uses --author. But Darcs is encoding $USER
in the commit message. This is silly. Darcs supports --author and
doesn't even require it to be an email address, so
--author "$USER"
would be more in line with what is used for the other VCSs.
