Config for branch, not in branch

[Erik Bågfors]

Hi

One thing I like about bzr is that the branch path is not fixed.
Personally I put other peoples sources/branches into ~/usr/src and my
own into ~/src.  Yesterday I did a "bzr branch foo foo1" in ~/usr/src,
hacked in foo1, then later decided to move it to ~/src and kept
hacking.

What I didn't think about is that the configuration (my email in this
case) was lost when I moved the branch.

I would prefer if this was kept inside the branch. What's the reason
it's in a separate configuration file?

I know part of this has been discussed earlier, but can't remember the outcome.

Regards,
Erik
