# Each patch is attributed to its author, usually by email address (for # example, `Fred Bloggs <fred@example.net>`). Darcs looks in several # places for this author string: the `--author` option, the files # `_darcs/prefs/author` (in the repository) and `~/.darcs/author` (in your # home directory), and the environment variables `$DARCS_EMAIL` and # `$EMAIL`. If none of those exist, Darcs will prompt you for an author # string and write it to `~/.darcs/author`. Note that if you have more # than one email address, you can put them all in `~/.darcs/author`, # one author per line. Darcs will still prompt you for an author, but it # allows you to select from the list, or to type in an alternative. darcs@jrvieira.com
