When changing a user's name, the blog path should be updated--currently, it is not.

See attached patch for proposed solution.

Can you explain why the update fails and why your patch fixes it?

Existing code is referencing the wrong variable.
When the hook is invoked with $op='update', the new values are provided in the $edit variable.
The current version is looking in the $user variable, which contains the old values before the changes were made.
Thus, it detects no changes and fails to update the URL alias.

Title: Blog path update fails when changing username » path updates use old values on user edit
Version: 5.x-1.2 » 5.x-2.x-dev
Status: Needs review » Fixed

The fix for 5.x-2 was slightly different given the new style of that version, but I do now see the problem and appreciate your help and advice.
