Changed By is Showing as "Unknown"

Why does SQL Source Control seem to forget who made a change? My edits almost always end up showing as being changed by "Unknown" instead of my username.

    SQL Source Control uses the default trace to find out who made the changes.
    A few causes for you seeing unknown would be:

    - the trace is disabled
    - you don't have permission to read it
    - it's rolled over to a new file between you changing the object and visiting the commt/get latest tab

    If you click the "unkown" link it should give you a few hints on the above.
