This seems to be getting out of hand. If Darcs gives you the option of
setting a global user file and you accept, and you don't want a global
user file set, then that's simply user error. All you have to do to
avoid it is to not blindly say yes to a prompt that's likely only
going to appear when the repo has no author anyway.

I know of many users who would find the option useful, and I don't
think it's that dangerous.
