Thanks for the bug report.
For git repositories, lintian-brush falls back to using the git user identity (i.e. GIT_EMAIL / ~/.gitconfig. I agree that it's confusing that it doesn't check breezy.conf. I'm going to add a --identity flag that can be used to check the user identity before commit and see if I can rework the logic a bit so that for git repositories the logic used is: * $GIT_NAME <$GIT_EMAIL> * .git/config * ~/.gitconfig * ~/.config/breezy/breezy.conf * gecos <$USER@$HOST> -- Jelmer Vernooij <jel...@jelmer.uk> PGP Key: https://www.jelmer.uk/D729A457.asc
