The paragraph in the DESCRIPTION at
<http://www.dirvish.org/dirvish.conf.5.html>
which begins "Each value must be provided ..." is consistent with what
you say. So now you know what you were looking for, it's there!

I agree that it doesn't tell you what you don't need to do, but then it
doesn't say that you don't need to add "waa-hey" at the end of every
line either :)

Perhaps there should be a line that explicitly says there are no
escape/quoting mechanisms. I suppose it also means dirvish can't deal
with filenames that begin or end with a space or that contain an
embedded newline or any other fun things one might choose to do.

Cheers, Dave
