Hello,
When "hg ci" is run without the "-u" option it should
take the contents of /etc/mailname (if it exists) as
the domain name part of the user address.
EG It should use r...@coker.com.au when I run it not
r...@server.coker.com.au.
Patch attached. But recent Mercurial versions will by
default fail for interactive commits if a username
isn't configured, so this change may not be that useful.
Also it would be nice if an environment variable could
be used for this so I could set it in .bashrc and not
have to worry about a -u option.
This is already supported: just set HGUSER (see "hg help
environment" for details). Alternatively you may set
your username in ~/.hgrc, like this:
[ui]
username = r...@coker.com.au
Regards,
Wagner
