Bzr currently attempts to guess the name and e-mail address of the user
(if not configured). Unfortunately, the e-mail address has only the
hostname, not the FQDN of the machine (cf. the thread "Slow Startup?"
from April 14) because OS/X does not have a sane default DNS resolution
setup. As such, it can hardly ever give a valid e-mail address.
In many cases, /etc/mailname will contain the correct domain name for
e-mail addresses. Hopefully, this should obviate the configuration step
for some users. Attached is a short patch to this effect.
