Our use case is /etc in bzr. We don't care at all about having valid email addresses in the bzr history for these branches. This change is really problematic for us. We're either going to have to patch it out or fix hundreds of machines (either by running bzr whoami or setting BZR_EMAIL with some dummy value).
I understand the rationale somewhat for the more traditional use cases of bzr (distributed revision control for source code), but we surely can't be the only users who don't care about the validity of email addresses and find this an unwelcome change. -- 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
