Bug Description

I can tell Launchpad who I am by using "bzr launchpad-login". But if I wish to revert to anonymous mode, there is no obvious way of doing that; there is no "bzr launchpad-logout".

A use case for this: I was running Ubuntu on a partition separate from the one that holds my SSH key. I used "bzr launchpad-login" because I thought I needed to, and then tried to branch a Launchpad branch, which failed because Launchpad wanted my SSH key and wouldn't fall back to HTTP.

(That Launchpad doesn't fall back to HTTP is a separate problem, but I don't know whether it would need to be fixed in Bazaar or in Launchpad.)

Technically this is an issue in the 'bzr-launchpad' plugin, which provides 'launchpad-login'.

I added launchpad-code, as they are generally the ones that maintain that plugin.

I agree that something like 'launchpad-logout' would be nice to have, especially when doing manual testing.

I experienced the exact same situation earlier today.

And for anyone who comes here wondering how you actually do "log out", just remove the "launchpad_username" line from your ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf file.
