+jsvn will execute the files "~/.jsvn", and "$WCROOT/.svn/jsvn", in that
+order, if they exist, as Python scripts for the user to locally configure
+jsvn. Variables written to from within configuration scripts will be used
+as configuration directives to control jsvn's execution. jsvn's default
+settings or even user-specified settings can thus be overridden for a
+particular working copy by creating a "$WCROOT/.svn/jsvn" script.

+Available configuration variables:
   use_color: True or False to enable/disable colorization of svn output
   use_pager: True or False to enable/disable automatic piping of svn
