1 mr (1.14) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

58 mr (1.07) unstable; urgency=low
60 * Added support for vcsh, enable with: include = cat /usr/share/mr/vcsh
61 Thanks, Richard Hartmann
62 * Block tty control codes in untrusted mr config files.
63 * Correct printing of line numbers when includes are used. Closes: #650952
64 * The previous fix for chaining to absolute paths broke chaining to relative
65 paths with more than one path segment. Thanks, Adam Spiers
66 * Support _append to add on to the existing value of a parameter.
68 * Optimizations. Commands like "mr list" run up to 5 times faster.
69 * Fix shell escaping of parameters passed to mr commands. Closes: #644672
70 * Added --force option that disables repository skipping.
71 * Repositories using skip = lazy will not be checked out by "mr update"
72 or "mr checkout" unless --force is used.

85 mr (1.05) unstable; urgency=low
87 * README now gives a quick into to using mr.
88 * Brought back the "deleted" parameter, which provides an easy way to
89 mark repositories that should be removed.
90 * Allow untrusted mrconfig files to set parameters to true/false.
91 So skip=true or deleted=true can be used in an untrusted mrconfig file.
92 * Also allow order=N in an untrusted mrconfig file.
93 * Support bzr checkouts, which are updated with "bzr update",
94 and to which bzr automatically pushes commits. Closes: #643589
95 * Use bzr branch, not deprecated bzr clone when registering bzr
96 repositories. Closes: #643591
97 * Allow bzr branch|clone|get|checkout in untrusted mrconfig files.
98 * Avoid using sed -r in git-fake-bare, for OSX portability.

132 mr (1.00) unstable; urgency=low
134 * Trust flag day. All mrconfig files except the main ~/.mrconfig are
135 now untrusted by default, until listed in ~/.mrtrust.
136 * The -p flag is now enabled by default. mr first reads ~/.mrconfig,
137 and then looks for an additional .mrconfig file in the current
138 directory or one of its parent directories. Closes: #557963

155 a repository is checked out or updated. Closes: #590868
156 * Added support for arbitrary pre and post hooks for all defined mr
157 commands. For example, pre_commit is run before all commits; post_update
158 is run after all updates. Closes: #481341

170 mr (0.48) unstable; urgency=low
172 * Fix the hours_since function built into mr's shell library to
173 not exit, but return a true/false exit status. This allows it to be
174 used outside of skip tests.

212 mr (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
214 * Set User-Agent to "mr" when downloading the mrconfig file
215 with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
216 * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
217 * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
218 and create it if necessary.
219 * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
220 check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.

224 mr (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
226 * Add support for ~/.mrtrust, which can be used to list trusted mrconfig
227 files. If you create this file, all files not listed in it will be treated
228 as untrusted, and carefully limited in what they can do. This improves
229 security when using mrconfig files provided by others.

233 mr (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
235 * Add -p switch, that makes mr search the current directory and its
236 parents for a .mrconfig file to use.
237 * Add `mr bootstrap`, which downloads an url to a .mrconfig file
238 in the current directory and then checks out all repositories configured
239 in it. This is intended for projects that want to publish a mrconfig file
240 to automate use of their several repositories.

257 mr (0.38) unstable; urgency=low
259 * Remove gitless lib. It turned out to be better to simply
260 use git clone --shared when checking out. Sorry for the churn..
262 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:39:33 -0500
264 mr (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
266 * Add "gitless" file to lib.
267 This adds a special type of git repository, where the .git directory
268 is stored on a file server, to avoid wasting space with it on the client.
269 * Revert buggy change to directory printing code.

285 * Pass additional options to darcs push when pushing. Closes: #495734

295 mr (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
297 * Add a push subcommand, which pushes committed changes for DCVS, and
298 does nothing for svn/cvs. Closes: #491865

302 mr (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
304 * Include the right (v2) version of GPL in the source.

308 mr (0.31) unstable; urgency=low
310 * Add an offline mode. When in offline mode, mr will remember commands
311 that failed (presumably due to lack of network access), and will run
312 them again once back online. (This is for all the laptop users
313 like me who don't want to have to remember which git repos to mr push
314 when they come back from a nice long hack in the woods. :-)

331 through the shell to expand them. Closes: #480421
332 * For the checkout command, MR_REPO was set to the name of the parent
333 directory of the directory to checkout. It is supposed to be the
334 path to the directory itself though; fixed this. Closes: #480424

403 * Support versions of man that don't use -l.
404 * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it

406 repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
407 git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
408 that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane

490 mr (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
492 * Split up actions, so each rcs has its own set of action commands,
493 and mr tests to see what rcs is used by a repository, and dispatches
496 This will make it much easier to add new rcses, or modify just the
497 command that mr uses for one command for one rcs, without duplicating a
498 lot of code, and without needing to modify mr at all.
500 The old style unsplit actions are still supported, and are what most
501 mrconfig files will still use; this change is fully backwards compatible.
502 * Changed some things in the enviroment for the register action.
503 It's now run in the directory that the user specifies, and MR_REPO
504 is set to contain the basename of the directory that the checkout
505 command should check out. These changes should be backware compatible
506 to existing register actions.
507 * Add info and warning functions to the shell library. (madduck)
508 * Add git_bare and git_fake_bare rcs types to handle
509 bare and fake bare (non-bare with a detached worktree) git repositories.
510 (Diff and commit do not work yet to fake bare repos). (madduck)
511 * Add a vim modeline to preserve joey's tabbing prefs. (madduck)
512 * Add support for including one mrconfig file from another. Unlike chaining,
513 this doesn't change the paths, and is not tied to a particular
514 subdirectory. It's useful for loading up library mrconfig files.
515 * Split git fake-bare support out into a lib/git-fake-bare.
516 Partly because it's a good example of how to add a new revision control
517 type and use includes, and partly because it's currently too ugly to be
518 in mr itself due to bugs and limitations in git.

550 mr (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
553 * Removed special case repository deletion handling code. The same
554 thing can be accomplished in a mrconfig by skipping a repo unless
555 it exists, and printing a reminder on update. See the mrconfig file
557 * Fix output of "mr config DEFAULT lib".
558 * Change mr update to use git pull -t origin master, to make sure new tags
559 are pulled. And since those might not always be the right parameters
560 for git pull, any parameters passed to mr update will replace them.
563 * Add support for mercurial.
566 * Incorporate code based on Anthony Towns's mrs, to allow running
567 multiple jobs in parallel. The -j flag controls this.
568 This can produce enormous speedups. For me, mr update takes
569 12 minutes, while mr -j 10 update takes 1 minute!

573 mr (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
575 * Fix mr register of a subdir to also work with -c.

582 * Allow for more complex deleted tests, such as marking a repo deleted on
583 some hosts, while not on others.
584 * Support registering CVS repositories. Closes: #447171
585 * MR_CONFIG now points to the config file that contains the repo mr is
587 * Make mr register smarter about what mrconfig file to write to.
588 (It probably does what you'd expect it to do now; if it doesn't, -c
