+# The grouper hibernate config uses Grouper Configuration Overlays (documented on wiki)
+# By default the configuration is read from grouper.hibernate.base.properties
+# (which should not be edited), and the grouper.hibernate.properties overlays
+# the base settings.  See the grouper.hibernate.base.properties for the possible
+# settings that can be applied to the grouper.hibernate.properties
