Multiple whoami?

[Eric Berry]

Hi all, I was working on my demonstration to my team when I came up with an
interesting idea.

Occasionally developers will pair up (not quite pair programming, but close)
and work on a project together, or do a quick code review together.

I noticed that I can set the bzr whoami to a "pair" of users:
[code]
bzr whoami "Eric Berry <elberry at gmail.com>, Joe Smith <jsmith at example.com>"
[/code]

This succeeds in setting the whoami to the full string, but when I use the
--email option, I only get the first entry.

One interesting point I was going to make to my team was the separation
between storage and identity. Meaning, I have a separate user/password for
my ftp server (where the repo is hosted), and my bzr whoami value. This is a
nifty feature in that it allows the creation of a branch or checkout
specific to the paired work done, as well as a separate identity for that
specific branch/checkout.

Would it be a terrible feature request to have BZR accept multiple email
addresses for the whoami configuration?

Thanks,
Eric
