(Get the code!)
I did lightweight checkout from bzr server of my company to some machine. Then I decided to change identity for this checkout and run `bzr whoami --branch xxx`. It works for lightweight checkout, but I found it does the wrong thing. My name/email was written to branch.conf of original branch on the server. So anyone other who will do lightweight checkout is also will commit with my name. It's obviously wrong.
I think command `bzr whoami --branch xxx` should not change identity of original branch on the server but store this info locally for this and only for this checkout. Otherwise it's pollute to all lightweight checkouts of this branch.
