[Bug 599129] Re: Merge etckeeper 0.47 (main) from debian unstable (main)

[Thierry Carrez]

"debian/cron.daily: Avoid cron emails with daily autocommits if VCS=hg"
can now be dumped since upstream implemented a different fix to the same
issue ("hg: Set HGUSER (if not already set) to avoid warning message
when committing. Closes: #533298")

Status in “etckeeper” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: etckeeper

 etckeeper (0.47) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Set HOME=~root so that VCS like bzr do not drop root-owned files in
     user home directory when sudo etckeeper is run. Closes: #583581
   * hg: Set HGUSER (if not already set) to avoid warning message when
     committing. Closes: #533298
   * Both git and bzr default to showing the author of a commit,
     and not the committer. So, set the author to the user running sudo
     for both. The committer will then be root.
