Description Matthew Schinckel 2012-01-12 22:05 UTC 
When you have no username supplied, and attempt to commit, then the error 
message tells you so.

But you cannot use --username as an argument, you must use --user.

Why is there a difference here? I can understand not removing --user, but it 
would be useful to have --username as an alias to --user.
