If we choose a default value, I would vote for 'xyz'. It's more obvious than "anon" IMO ...

However, the use cases for not entering user initials should be very rare, shouldn't they? It would be a pity if people "clicked that pop up away" and committed to what repository/changeset ever all under the same default value. Why can't we leave the situation as is?


Best,

Christoph

+1. I understand the need to get 5.3 out soon. I didn't realize all the
side effects of this change.
