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. ** Affects: bzr (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- bzr blame gives error if user has not done 'bzr whoami' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667408 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
