[darcs-users] ~/.darcs folder ignored?

[Justin Francis]

Hello,

I have moved my darcs preferences our of _darcs in my repositories into 
  my ~/.darcs directory. However, the preferences do not seem to have 
any effect.

For example, here is my defaults file:

push jfrancis at scm.dev:/var/darcs/savior/master
diff diff-command="xxdiff %1 %2 -r --geometry 1550x1100"
get http://scm.dev/darcs/master

None of these settings seems to have any effect, however.

Thanks,

Justin
