do you know about the bzr whoami command?

before you do a commit (while logged in as the user you are going to commit
with and also using sudo if thats how you are going to commit)
you can check it:
bzr whoami
and if its wrong you can set it:
bzr whoami "Brian Shacklett <bshacklett at digital-traffic.net>"

if I do
sudo bzr whoami
I get my normal users' id (and my commits have my user's id for the
committer)

but if I su and then
bzr whoami
I get my root user's Id
