The list from the source docs says something slightly different: 301 ** (1) Use the --user and -U command-line options. 302 ** 303 ** (2) If the local database is open, check in VVAR. 304 ** 305 ** (3) Check the default user in the repository 306 ** 307 ** (4) Try the USER environment variable. 308 ** 309 ** (5) Use the first user in the USER table. i didn't compare these with the code, but i'll use these numbers below... If we follow the often-seen conventions that config file entries can be overridden with CLI arg, and that $ENV vars often have a precedence between config file and CLI args (in my experience, anyway), i would argue that swapping 3 (config file) and 4 ($USER) would be the right (well, more conventional) thing to do. e.g. in PHP GET supersedes POST (by default), and POST supersedes (by default) COOKIES. The order of precedence generally (conventionally) corresponds to the ease with which a user can change these options (passing a URL param (GET) is easy for the user, POST is a bit more work, and working with cookies is generally even more work (or impossible, depending on the programming environment), thus PHP's default precedence ordering). :-? -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
