I wanted to be able to issue "darcs whatsnew" from anywhere so I put

ALL repodir /MyProject

into ~/.darcs/defaults, it seems to have no effect

Running on a RedHat Enterprise 3 Linux.

Using strace to look at the system calls I can see 3 accesses to the the 
defaults file but it makes not attempt to look at the /MyProject 
directory (if the option --repodir /MyProject is used I see a chdir to 
it before it checks for _darcs).
