[Gnu-arch-users] [PATCH] per-archive IDs

[Charles Duffy]

I've recently ported Major's per-archive ID patch up to tla 1.2, added a
bit of functionality, stopped it from breaking existing test cases and
added a few new ones.

The core idea here is ~/.arch-params/=ids/<archivename> can store the
user's ID for that given archive. This is useful, to steal a scenario
from the test cases, one wants to commit to address@hidden as Jane
Doe <address@hidden>, but wants to commit to address@hidden as
Jane Doe <address@hidden>.

"tla my-id" now takes a -A flag (to force the association for a specific
archive), and a "-d" flag (to force the association to be made to the
default ID, and not to an ID tied to a given archive). Running "tla
my-id" within a project tree by default sets or retrieves the
association of the archive that project tree belongs to.

The code is available in
address@hidden/tla--major-integration--1.2, more particularly
in --patch-2 and --patch-3. (patch-1 is a merge of Major's commit --date
option, which I'm using as a temporary fix until someone, possibly
myself, implements Tom's --log-header suggestion).


So -- I'd appreciate a bit of peer review on this, not just the patch
(which to my eyes is fairly trivial) but also wrt the desirability of
the implemented behaviour.

Thoughts, anyone?


Oh, and if address@hidden isn't in your
