The file dorsal.cfg is part of Dorsal and will be overwritten when you
pull, or rather bzr will note that you have changed it and rename your
version to dorsal.cfg.THIS and the incoming version to dorsal.cfg.other.

A better way to specify your own path is to put it in a file called
local.cfg. Dorsal will read that file and override the values in
dorsal.cfg.
