If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them,
I'd be especially grateful.
1 # This adds a special type of git repository, where the .git directory
2 # is stored on a file server, to avoid wasting space with it on the client.
3 # One example use is storing a music collection in git, where you can spare
4 # the extra space needed for .git on your file server, but not on your
5 # laptop. This fills basically the same niche as unison.
7 # To make mr use this file, add a line like this inside the [DEFAULT]
8 # section of your ~/.mrconfig
9 #include = cat /usr/share/mr/git-remote
11 # And an example repo using it would look something like:
13 #checkout = git_remote_checkout turtle /media/turtle/home/joey/lib sound
15 # In this example, the file server's hostname is "turtle",
16 # and it's mounted on /media/turtle. The file server contains a sound.git
17 # repository in the specified directory under that mount point.
18 # When mr checks out that repository, it will create a sound.hostname
19 # directory on the server, containing just the .git directory, and symlink
20 # the client's .git directory to it. After checkout, normal git and mr
21 # commands can be used, as long as the file server is available.
