vc-next-action or vc-dir, optionally allows to change the user?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

Recently I have to commit (using hg,  but this should be irrelevant here)
changes as another user, so usually I tried 


(defun my-set-new-user ()
  "Set the user for the commit and ChangLog entries to new user."
  (interactive)
  (setq user-full-name "James Bond")
  (setq add-log-full-name "James Bond")
  (setq user-mail-address "007@mi6.co.uk")
  (setq add-log-mailing-address "007@mi6.co.uk")
  (message "Now changes are registered as JB"))

But it did not help.

Any idea how to change the user and email address for the  commit
message?

I can commit explicitly from the command line as a new user, but that is
a bit cumbersome.

Regards
