Hello,

I believe that this bug is not due to the quilt software, but to your
local configuration. In fact, grepping for that string on the source
package reveals that it is only present in the documentation (both in
the man page and in the pdf version).

So I assume that you have that string in your ~/.quiltrc file.

I reduce the severity and retitle that bug to keep a track that we need
to update the documentation in order to not trap our users anymore.

Bye, Mt.
