I don't see any reason why whoami command should be targeted for branch
and not for checkout. whoami information used during commit and commit
did not work without checkout.

So for me `bzr whoami --branch` is incorrect and useless.

I tend to agree about this bug report as incorrect. Because more correct
bug report should claim about --branch flag.
