vc-next-action or vc-dir, optionally allows to change the user?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

Recently I have to commit (using hg,  but this should be irrelevant here)
changes as another user, so usually I tried 


(defun my-set-new-user ()
  "Set the user for the commit and ChangLog entries to new user."
  (interactive)
  (setq user-full-name "James Bond")
  (setq add-log-full-name "James Bond")
  (setq user-mail-address "007@mi6.co.uk")
  (setq add-log-mailing-address "007@mi6.co.uk")
  (message "Now changes are registered as JB"))

But it did not help.

Any idea how to change the user and email address for the  commit
message?

I can commit explicitly from the command line as a new user, but that is
a bit cumbersome.

Regards

Uwe Brauer

Try adding the "Author:" header at the top when writing the commit message.

Thanks that works, however if want to say commit three or 4 changes this way, it would be nice to have this a bit more automatised. 

I debugged vc-checkin and can see where it grabs the user name and address. 

Another approach would be to set the user variable locally for that repository to a different value. But this is not a lisp solution but one that depends on the underlying vc system

Hm...

I would suggest using 'M-p' to pre-fill the previous contents of the 
Log-Edit buffer when writing the subsequent ones.

[a bug, with log-edit-setup-add-author?] (was: vc-next-action or vc-dir, optionally allows to change the user?)

This is cool, thanks I was not aware that I can use M-p actually to
insert an older message I thought this is mainly for displaying.

One last thing so:

When using 


(setq log-edit-setup-add-author t)

Then the log-edit-buffer looks like

Summary: 
Author: 

I find this a bit contra-intuitive and inconvenient. 

I think it should be 

Author: 
Summary: 

Not a big deal, but.....

(May this is a bug)?

Here is the culprit:

(defun log-edit-insert-message-template ()
  "Insert the default VC commit log template with Summary and Author."
  (interactive)
  (when (or (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
            (log-edit-empty-buffer-p))
    (insert "Summary: ")
    (when log-edit-setup-add-author
      (insert "\nAuthor: "))
    (insert "\n\n")
    (message-position-point)))

I think it should be the other way around I will try to bring this up on the devel list.

It seems that 

(setq log-edit-setup-add-author t)

Is a bit helpful

    1. Unbelievable as it  seems but  you still seem to support this war
       of aggression. However I will not discuss this issue with your here.

    2. We have freedom of expression, haven't we? If a you find it
       stressful to see that a war of aggression is condemned, that is
       your problem.

What a nonsense, I do not support ANY war. This is about Emacs Help
and there are people from many sides of world including our friends
Russian. 

Could you abstain of using this mailing list to support delivery of
weapons to any country? There are other mailing lists where you should
do that and where you can express your opinions.

Sure you have. Just that we wish to include Russian in this mailing
list, and Ukrainian, and not foster conflicts with this war mongering
signature of yours. Find better forums for that.

I don't mind the signature.
