"""Configuration that affects the behaviour of Bazaar.

Currently this configuration resides in ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf
and ~/.bazaar/locations.conf, which is written to by bzr.

In bazaar.conf the following options may be set:
[DEFAULT]
editor=name-of-program
email=Your Name <your@email.address>
check_signatures=require|ignore|check-available(default)
create_signatures=always|never|when-required(default)
gpg_signing_command=name-of-program
log_format=name-of-format

in locations.conf, you specify the url of a branch and options for it.
Wildcards may be used - * and ? as normal in shell completion. Options
set in both bazaar.conf and locations.conf are overridden by the locations.conf
setting.
[/home/robertc/source]
recurse=False|True(default)
email= as above
check_signatures= as above
create_signatures= as above.

explanation of options
----------------------
editor - this option sets the pop up editor to use during commits.
email - this option sets the user id bzr will use when committing.
check_signatures - this option controls whether bzr will require good gpg
                   signatures, ignore them, or check them if they are
                   present.
create_signatures - this option controls whether bzr will always create
                    gpg signatures, never create them, or create them if the
                    branch is configured to require them.
log_format - this option sets the default log format.  Possible values are
             long, short, line, or a plugin can register new formats.

In bazaar.conf you can also define aliases in the ALIASES sections, example

[ALIASES]
