Sure except that we run bzr as many different users. And yes, we could
in theory, force a 'bzr whoami' run for all of those users across 400
machines.

Or, you know, we could just give up and switch to some other VCS system
which doesn't annoy us so much because I really don't want to do that
:-P

(A per branch/checkout/whatever way to disable this error would be
 sufficient to downgrade this from a blocker on us upgrading to a simple
 annoyance.)
