I guess that's a bug, sorry. it should probably support that.

also a bug.

this probably indicates you're running a debian machine (or similar)
which does not export $USER or $HOSTNAME. you'll need to either export
those environment variables or add an explicit get_author(branchname)
hook to ~/.monotonerc, such as:

function get_author(branchname)
        return "address@hidden"
end

perhaps I will add in some lua functions to call getpwent rather than
look in the environment. too many people are running into this problem
:(

ok. I'll update the docs to this form as well. thanks for your
feedback.
