 Revup stores some persistent configuration values in a python configparser

-the current git repo in a ".revupconfig" file. A user configuration is read
-from REVUP_CONFIG_PATH if available, otherwise from the default path of

+Revup loads options in this order:
 
 - The program has built in defaults that are given in the manual.
-- Repo configs take precedence over the above.
-- User configs take precedence over the above.
+- Global configs (~/.revupconfig) take precedence over the above. REVUP_CONFIG_PATH can override this path
+- Repo configs (.revupconfig at the repo root) take precedence over the above.
+- Repo-local configs (.git/.revupconfig) take precedence over the above.
 - Command line flags specified by the user take highest precedence.
