5 mr - a Multiple Repository management tool
9 B<mr> [options] checkout
11 B<mr> [options] update
13 B<mr> [options] status
15 B<mr> [options] commit [-m "message"]
21 B<mr> [options] register repository
23 B<mr> [options] config section [parameter=[value] ...]
25 B<mr> [options] action [params ...]
29 B<mr> is a Multiple Repository management tool. It allows you to register a
30 set of repositories in a .mrconfig file, and then checkout, update, or
31 perform other actions on the repositories as if they were one big
34 Any mix of revision control systems can be used with B<mr>, and you can
35 define arbitrary actions for commands like "update", "checkout", or "commit".
37 B<mr> cds into and operates on all registered repsitories at or below your
38 working directory. Or, if you are in a subdirectory of a repository that
39 contains no other registered repositories, it will stay in that directory,
40 and work on only that repository,
42 The predefined commands should be fairly familiar to users of any revision
47 =item checkout (or co)
49 Checks out any repositories that are not already checked out.
53 Updates each repository from its configured remote repository.
55 If a repository isn't checked out yet, it will first check it out.
59 Displays a status report for each repository, showing what
60 uncommitted changes are present in the repository.
64 Commits changes to each repository. (By default, changes are pushed to the
65 remote repository too, when using distributed systems like git.)
67 The optional -m parameter allows specifying a commit message.
71 Show a diff of uncommitted changes.
79 List the repositories that mr will act on.
83 The next parameter is the directory of an existing repository. The
84 repository will be registered in the mrconfig file.
88 Modifies the mrconfig file. The next parameter is the name of the section
89 to add or modify, and it is followed by one or more instances of
90 "parameter=value". Use "parameter=" to remove a parameter.
92 For example, to add (or edit) a repository in src/foo:
94 mr config src/foo checkout="svn co svn://example.com/foo/trunk foo"
102 Actions can be abbreviated to any unambiguous subsctring, so
103 "mr st" is equivilant to "mr status", and "mr up" is equivilant to "mr
106 Additional parameters can be passed to most commands, and are passed on
107 unchanged to the underlying revision control system. This is mostly useful
108 if the repositories mr will act on all use the same revision control
117 Specifies the topmost directory that B<mr> should work in. The default is
118 the current working directory.
122 Use the specified mrconfig file, instead of looking for one in your home
133 B<mr> is configured by .mrconfig files. It starts by reading the .mrconfig
134 file in your home directory, and this can in turn chain load .mrconfig files
137 Here is an example .mrconfig file:
140 checkout = svn co svn://svn.example.com/src/trunk src
144 checkout = git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
146 The .mrconfig file uses a variant of the INI file format. Lines starting with
147 "#" are comments. Lines ending with "\" are continued on to the next line.
149 The "DEFAULT" section allows setting default values for the sections that
152 The "ALIAS" section allows adding aliases for actions. Each parameter
153 is an alias, and its value is the action to use.
155 All other sections add repositories. The section header specifies the
156 directory where the repository is located. This is relative to the directory
157 that contains the mrconfig file, but you can also choose to use absolute
160 Within a section, each parameter defines a shell command to run to handle a
161 given action. mr contains default handlers for the "update", "status", and
162 "commit" actions, so normally you only need to specify what to do for
165 Note that these shell commands are run in a "set -e" shell
166 environment, where any additional parameters you pass are available in
167 "$@". The "checkout" command is run in the parent of the repository
168 directory, since the repository isn't checked out yet. All other commands
169 are run inside the repository, though not necessarily at the top of it.
170 The "MR_REPO" environment variable is set to the path to the top of the
173 A few parameters have special meanings:
179 If the "skip" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then B<mr>
180 will skip acting on that repository.
184 If the "chain" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then B<mr>
185 will try to load a .mrconfig file from the root of the repository. (You
186 should avoid chaining from repositories with untrusted committers.)
190 If the "deleted" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then
191 B<mr> will treat the repository as deleted. It won't ever actually delete
192 the repository, but it will warn if it sees the repsoitory's directory.
193 This is useful when one mrconfig file is shared amoung multiple machines,
194 to keep track of and remember to delete old repositories.
198 The "lib" parameter can specify some shell code that will be run before each
199 command, this can be a useful way to define shell functions for other commands
