Hi Catalin,

Here is an error I just got when refreshing. The refresh did occur, but the error is annoying and may hide something:

dwitch@gandelf:/export/work/yann/git/stgit$ ./stg ref contrib/stg-whatchanged Checking for changes in the working directory... done Refreshing patch "whatchanged"...stg ref: unknown user details

dwitch@gandelf:/export/work/yann/git/stgit$ echo $? 2

When using "refresh -p", we can see the error occurs before rewinding to current patch:

dwitch@gandelf:/export/work/yann/git/stgit$ ./stg ref -p show-old Checking for changes in the working directory... done Popping patch "whatchanged"... done Refreshing patch "show-old"...stg ref: unknown user details

dwitch@gandelf:/export/work/yann/git/stgit$ stg top show-old
