1 mr (1.14) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

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

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

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

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

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

217 with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
218 * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
219 * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
220 and create it if necessary.
221 * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
222 check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.

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

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

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

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

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

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

330 mr (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
332 * Allow environment variables in section headers. Pass such headers
333 through the shell to expand them. Closes: #480421
334 * For the checkout command, MR_REPO was set to the name of the parent
335 directory of the directory to checkout. It is supposed to be the
336 path to the directory itself though; fixed this. Closes: #480424

396 * darcs: Add -u to diff to get a more usual unified diff.
397 * Add a "record" subcommand, borrowing termonology from darcs. This does a

405 * Support versions of man that don't use -l.
406 * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it
407 to much of a PITA to do this, since -t makes git-pull require the
408 repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
409 git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
410 that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane

440 subdirectories to find repositories to act on. Closes: #450621

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

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

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

598 * mr register will now write to whatever config file is specified with -c
599 * Typo fixes from madduck.
