I have two local working copies, both on my local user account. I am managing 
commits for another user, so he sends me files and I check them in. It’s weird 
but we have our reasons for this.

So I go into his working copy, replace the file in question with his copy, then 
do `svn ci --username other` and it works fine. But next time I go into my 
working copy, if I commit using `svn ci` without specifying username, it 
“remembers” the alternate username.

Is there a way to keep these from “sticking"? Or a way to specify a default 
username? Otherwise I’ll probably just specify each time, but it’s not ideal as 
it’s too easy to forget to specify it. I had hoped that omitting the --username 
argument would always default to the user’s local user account name, but that’s 
not the case.

And yes, I know I could create a second local user account to make sure they 
stay separate. I’d rather not, though, if there’s another way to do it.
