Description David Williams CLA 2011-06-22 22:30:11 EDT 
There are some places in our build, such as in maptasks.xml where there are mechanisms to use a real committer id, instead of the default anonymous (pserver). 

For the map tasks rewrite, this is done by having an ant variable in the maptasks.properties file in the LOCAL_BUILD_VARIABLES directory. 

When we do override default, and read it committer specific id, we should always print out (echo) a clear warning that we are "overriding default and using XXXX instead". 

This would make it easier to track down when another user comes along, and accidentally picks up that other persons committer specific ID. 

I'm marking as 'minor' since this is a hugely specific problem, only on multiuser test machines ... but, thought deserved tracking, since one effect is that a user can be locked out from eclipse, by too many logon failures, or similar, if undetected. And ... easy to forget about this "customization" so a prominent warning of "overriding" would be helpful.
