Ah, in that case the page will be easier to write.

I still think separate gbp.conf could clarify things. I was thinking
something along line:


        NAME

        SYNOPSIS

        DESCRIPTION

                <Explain the file syntax. What the SECTION names are:
                a special "DEFAULT", then according to each COMMAND.
                Explain that key=value pairs is COMMAND sections are
                derived from each command's options. Explain comment
                marker '#' etc.>

                  [section name]
                  <option> = value
        
                Special notes... like, that "filter"option can be
                defined in multiple ways To cumulatively add more
                excludes:

                   filter = .svn
                   filter = .bzr

                Or use the Python way:

                   filter = [ '.svn', '.bzr' ]

        EXAMPLES


                <Present a typical gbp.conf file>
