Darcs needs to know what name (conventionally an email address) to use 
as the
patch author, e.g. 'Fred Bloggs <fred at bloggs.invalid>'.  If you provide 
one
now it will be stored in the file '_darcs/prefs/author' and used as a 
default
in the future.  To change your preferred author address, simply delete 
or edit
this file.

What is your email address? foo
Ok, if you don't want to record anything, that's fine!
