statsvn support for users with "." in name

Question

With StatSVN it's possible to define information about user(s) in a configuration file. An example from the documentation is here:

 # Example
 user.benoitx.realName=Benoit Xhenseval
 user.benoitx.url=http://www.xhenseval.com/benoit
 user.benoitx.image=http://www.xhenseval.com/benoit/bx-avatar.jpg
 user.benoitx.email=
 user.benoitx.twitterUsername=benoitx
 user.benoitx.twitterUserId=18722145
 user.benoitx.twitterIncludeHtml=true
 user.benoitx.twitterIncludeFlash=true

However, what happens if the username has a "." in it? Any clever ways to achieve this? For example: john.doe:

 user.john.doe.realName=Benoit Xhenseval
 user.john.doe.url=http://www.xhenseval.com/benoit
 user.john.doe.image=http://www.xhenseval.com/benoit/bx-avatar.jpg
 user.john.doe.email=
 user.john.doe.twitterUsername=benoitx
 user.john.doe.twitterUserId=18722145
 user.john.doe.twitterIncludeHtml=true
 user.john.doe.twitterIncludeFlash=true

Thanks for your input

Answer 1

The conclusion to this was to rename the user on the system to a username that doesn't have a . in it. problem solved.
