Where does the default username in options come from? <login>@<hostname> is quite confusing from several reasons: 1) If you want to change it, for example just add one letter to login and press OK, you are presented with warning dialog that it is not valid email address. But then the original is not either. 2) If you change it in options to valid email address and press OK, then you delete the created hgrc (because you want to yous your Mercurial.ini at mercurial install dir), just opening the options and pressing OK will create the hgrc again. Maybe a button "set" or something like that might be there. You can say that you should press Cancel if you don't want to use what is in options, but most people will pres OK, because they know they did not change anything so they don't expect to be any difference from before. 3) Invoking Mercurial | Properties... does show other username than is used for push. I think that if you did not change anything there (thus <project>/.hg/hgrc is not created), there should be present a username that will be used for push. I think that the default username should be determined looking into hgrc or .ini. The question is what should be there when no username is found in any of these files, perhaps the <username>@<hostname> but then the behavior of options has to be changed as stated above. I am not sure what would be the best way to solve this, but in current state is really confusing. NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803170003)
Is this description based on what is currently checked in or on the patch in #126803?
It is based on current daily build without that patch. I wanted to have the options and default username problem isolated, that's why I filed another issue. I will test the patch on Monday and add my comment to both issues afterwards.
Well I tested the patch. As far as I tested it, no change for the default user name described here was not introduced, was it?
