| 1098 | 391 All commands (except help) require a tracker specifier. This is just the |
| 392 path to the roundup tracker you're working with. A roundup tracker is where | |
| 393 roundup keeps the database and configuration file that defines an issue | |
| 394 tracker. It may be thought of as the issue tracker's "home directory". | |
| 395 It may be specified in the environment variable ``TRACKER_HOME`` or on | |
| 396 the command line as "``-i tracker``". | |
