New submission from Guillaume Hoffmann <guillaumh at gmail.com>:
1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)
On a new system, darcs prompts the user their e-mail address and stores it
in the _darcs/prefs/author file of the current repository. It does it again
and again for every new repository.
I observed this annoyed students two years ago when they used darcs (as
reported in http://darcs.net/Ideas/Education).
2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?
Save e-mail into ~/.darcs/author .
Setting this parameter globally (for the user) is what recommend git and
mercurial in their help messages, and this is what does bazaar with the
command "bzr whoami".
