Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bzr
Package: bzr
Version: 2.2.0-1
Ubuntu version: 10.10
If you try to use 'bzr blame' and you haven't used 'bzr whoami' to tell
bzr who you are then it complains. Actual behaviour:
petma...@linaroe102767:~/linaro/snapshot/linaro-image-tools$ bzr blame
linaro-media-create
bzr: ERROR: Unable to determine your name.
Please, set your name with the 'whoami' command.
E.g. bzr whoami "Your Name <n...@example.com>"
The expected behaviour is that it should give you the annotated file the
same way it does once you have done 'bzr whoami', rather than a fatal
error.
There shouldn't be any reason for bzr to need to know who the local user
is in order to do 'blame' annotation, any more than it does for 'bzr
log'. I'm guessing that the reason this happens is that bzr wants to
know how to annotate local uncommitted changes, but it would be more
user friendly to just annotate these as "[local user]" or something
similar rather than just refuse to do anything.
