69 mr (1.07) unstable; urgency=low
71 * Added support for vcsh, enable with: include = cat /usr/share/mr/vcsh
72 Thanks, Richard Hartmann
73 * Block tty control codes in untrusted mr config files.
74 * Correct printing of line numbers when includes are used. Closes: #650952

79 * Optimizations. Commands like "mr list" run up to 5 times faster.
80 * Fix shell escaping of parameters passed to mr commands. Closes: #644672
81 * Added --force option that disables repository skipping.
82 * Repositories using skip = lazy will not be checked out by "mr update"

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

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

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

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

199 * Avoid using abs_path to determine canonical repo path, as that fails

223 mr (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
225 * Set User-Agent to "mr" when downloading the mrconfig file
226 with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
227 * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
228 * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
229 and create it if necessary.
230 * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
231 check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.
233 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:22:32 -0400
235 mr (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
237 * Add support for ~/.mrtrust, which can be used to list trusted mrconfig
238 files. If you create this file, all files not listed in it will be treated
239 as untrusted, and carefully limited in what they can do. This improves
240 security when using mrconfig files provided by others.
242 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:38:31 -0400
244 mr (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
246 * Add -p switch, that makes mr search the current directory and its
247 parents for a .mrconfig file to use.
248 * Add `mr bootstrap`, which downloads an url to a .mrconfig file
249 in the current directory and then checks out all repositories configured
250 in it. This is intended for projects that want to publish a mrconfig file
251 to automate use of their several repositories.

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

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

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

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

415 * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it
416 to much of a PITA to do this, since -t makes git-pull require the
417 repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
418 git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
419 that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane

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

551 * Add to the example mrconfig a "tags" command that lists tags.
552 (Currently only for svn and git.)
553 * hours_since was broken by design, and fixing it involved changing
554 its calling convention. If you used the old version, the new version
556 * Add ability to reorder repos, if you want mr to act on a given repo first

561 mr (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
564 * Removed special case repository deletion handling code. The same
565 thing can be accomplished in a mrconfig by skipping a repo unless
566 it exists, and printing a reminder on update. See the mrconfig file
568 * Fix output of "mr config DEFAULT lib".
569 * Change mr update to use git pull -t origin master, to make sure new tags
570 are pulled. And since those might not always be the right parameters
571 for git pull, any parameters passed to mr update will replace them.
574 * Add support for mercurial.
577 * Incorporate code based on Anthony Towns's mrs, to allow running
578 multiple jobs in parallel. The -j flag controls this.
579 This can produce enormous speedups. For me, mr update takes
580 12 minutes, while mr -j 10 update takes 1 minute!

584 mr (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
586 * Fix mr register of a subdir to also work with -c.
587 * Signal handling for commands run by mr, including handling of SIGINT
589 * Ensure parent dirs exist prior to checkout. (madduck)
590 * Output list of failed repos to stderr when -s is used.
591 * Fix a bug caused by a stupid typo.
592 * Add the -n switch, for disabling recursion.
593 * Allow for more complex deleted tests, such as marking a repo deleted on
594 some hosts, while not on others.
595 * Support registering CVS repositories. Closes: #447171
596 * MR_CONFIG now points to the config file that contains the repo mr is
598 * Make mr register smarter about what mrconfig file to write to.
599 (It probably does what you'd expect it to do now; if it doesn't, -c

604 mr (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
606 * Add a check to make sure the expected directory exists after checkout.
607 * mr register will now write to whatever config file is specified with -c
608 * Typo fixes from madduck.

612 mr (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
614 * Fix line number display for config file parse errors.
615 * Fix a bug in inheritance of default settings in chained .mrconfig files.
