I would favor defaulting author to the keyid, but still allowing a hook 
to override it. I chose my keyid expecting it to be my public monotone 
alias.

I will want a different author name for each branch, so I'll have to 
update the .monotonerc file frequently. Actually, I'll want it on a 
per-project basis, as opposed to a per-branch basis, but I haven't seen 
the concept of a project in monotone yet.

I could have different keys for each project I work on. If I specify a 
--key for a commit, I guess I would like that to be the default for that 
workspace. I don't know if monotone already does that or not.
