Analysis:
In the case of an early install, the logic to determine USER in
/etc/etckeeper/commit.d/50vcs-commit fails to yield a valid USER, so EMAIL is
not set when bzr commit is called (no name being stored in bzr whoami, this
fails)
Solution would be to do something like:
ORIG_USER=$USER
USER=
...
if [ -n "$USER" ]; then
export EMAIL="$USER <$u...@$hostname>"
else
bzr whoami || export EMAIL="$ORIG_USER <$orig_u...@$hostname>"
fi
This avoids setting bzr whoami artificially at install-time, still
prefers stored creds if any are present, but defaulting to something
valid rather than failing in the corner case of this bug.
Reducing priority since this doesn't affect post-install installations
of etckeeper. i'll fix this if nobody beats me to it.
