15 mr (1.09) unstable; urgency=low
17 * Remove dir_test hack and add a way for vcs tests to run perl code,
18 using this for the same optimisation. Fixes support for git-svn

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

47 mr (1.06) unstable; urgency=low
49 * Fix propigation of failure from pre and post hooks and from fixups.
50 * Support chaining to absolute paths.
51 * Add support for skip = lazy, a mode where mr only operates on repositories

56 mr (1.05) unstable; urgency=low
58 * README now gives a quick into to using mr.
59 * Brought back the "deleted" parameter, which provides an easy way to
60 mark repositories that should be removed.
61 * Allow untrusted mrconfig files to set parameters to true/false.
62 So skip=true or deleted=true can be used in an untrusted mrconfig file.
63 * Also allow order=N in an untrusted mrconfig file.
64 * Support bzr checkouts, which are updated with "bzr update",
65 and to which bzr automatically pushes commits. Closes: #643589
66 * Use bzr branch, not deprecated bzr clone when registering bzr
67 repositories. Closes: #643591
68 * Allow bzr branch|clone|get|checkout in untrusted mrconfig files.
69 * Avoid using sed -r in git-fake-bare, for OSX portability.
70 * git-fake-bare: handle fake bare repositories with core.bare not set
71 (Thanks, Julien Rebetez)

83 mr (1.03) unstable; urgency=low
85 * Added git-subtree library. Thanks, Svend Sorensen
86 * Now --quiet supresses all output from commands run, as well
87 as from mr, unless a command fails. Closes: #529296

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

122 mr (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
124 * Now supports the Fossil VCS. (Thanks, Jimmy Tang)
125 * Added fixups hook, which can be used to run a command after
126 a repository is checked out or updated. Closes: #590868
127 * Added support for arbitrary pre and post hooks for all defined mr
128 commands. For example, pre_commit is run before all commits; post_update
129 is run after all updates. Closes: #481341

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

149 mr (0.47) unstable; urgency=low
151 * Pass -L to curl to allow it to follow redirects when bootstrapping.
153 * Allow empty sections to be used in mrconfig files.

157 mr (0.46) unstable; urgency=low
159 * Avoid using abs_path to determine canonical repo path, as that fails
160 when the repo has not yet been checked out.
162 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:28:26 -0500
164 mr (0.45) unstable; urgency=low
166 * Fix pod error. Closes: #558012
167 * bootstrap: Improve stats display.
168 * Add --insecure option that can be used to ignore SSL cert errors
169 when bootstrapping. (Pavel Avgustinov)
170 * Fix handling of a repository in "."

178 * mr help: Support man on SunOS and OS X. (Geoff Davis)
179 * mr bootstrap: Fix cross-device rename failure. Closes: #557962

183 mr (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
185 * Set User-Agent to "mr" when downloading the mrconfig file
186 with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
187 * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
188 * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
189 and create it if necessary.
190 * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
191 check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.
193 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:22:32 -0400
195 mr (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
197 * Add support for ~/.mrtrust, which can be used to list trusted mrconfig
198 files. If you create this file, all files not listed in it will be treated
199 as untrusted, and carefully limited in what they can do. This improves
200 security when using mrconfig files provided by others.
202 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:38:31 -0400
204 mr (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
206 * Add -p switch, that makes mr search the current directory and its
207 parents for a .mrconfig file to use.
208 * Add `mr bootstrap`, which downloads an url to a .mrconfig file
209 in the current directory and then checks out all repositories configured
210 in it. This is intended for projects that want to publish a mrconfig file
211 to automate use of their several repositories.

215 mr (0.40) unstable; urgency=low
217 * Pass --pull to bzr merge to avoid needing to commit
218 merged changes. Closes: #524352
220 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:47:22 -0400
222 mr (0.39) unstable; urgency=low
224 * Determine current branch for fake-bare update (martin f. krafft)
226 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:50:54 -0400
228 mr (0.38) unstable; urgency=low
230 * Remove gitless lib. It turned out to be better to simply
231 use git clone --shared when checking out. Sorry for the churn..
233 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:39:33 -0500
235 mr (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
237 * Add "gitless" file to lib.
238 This adds a special type of git repository, where the .git directory
239 is stored on a file server, to avoid wasting space with it on the client.
240 * Revert buggy change to directory printing code.
242 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:40:59 -0500
244 mr (0.36) unstable; urgency=low
246 * Add webcheckout command. See <http://kitenet.net/~joey/rfc/rel-vcs/>

251 mr (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
253 * Warn if an include command fails nonzero. Closes: #495306
254 * Remove stray character in pod that uglified man page. Closes: #495731
255 * Create ~/.mrlog not world readable.
256 * Pass additional options to darcs push when pushing. Closes: #495734

260 mr (0.34) unstable; urgency=low
262 * Fix bug when remembering failed commands in offline mode.
264 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 12:27:21 -0400
266 mr (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
268 * Add a push subcommand, which pushes committed changes for DCVS, and
269 does nothing for svn/cvs. Closes: #491865
271 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:22:01 -0400
273 mr (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
275 * Include the right (v2) version of GPL in the source.
277 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:28:55 -0400
279 mr (0.31) unstable; urgency=low
281 * Add an offline mode. When in offline mode, mr will remember commands
282 that failed (presumably due to lack of network access), and will run
283 them again once back online. (This is for all the laptop users
284 like me who don't want to have to remember which git repos to mr push
285 when they come back from a nice long hack in the woods. :-)

299 mr (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
301 * Allow environment variables in section headers. Pass such headers
302 through the shell to expand them. Closes: #480421
303 * For the checkout command, MR_REPO was set to the name of the parent
304 directory of the directory to checkout. It is supposed to be the
305 path to the directory itself though; fixed this. Closes: #480424
307 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 14 May 2008 19:38:18 -0400

319 are no changes. Closes: #476650

350 using bzr info to get the url. Closes: #463867

362 mr (0.20) unstable; urgency=low
365 * darcs: Add -u to diff to get a more usual unified diff.
366 * Add a "record" subcommand, borrowing termonology from darcs. This does a
367 local commit, but does not push changes to remote repos.
368 * Improve unison support.

372 mr (0.19) unstable; urgency=low
374 * Support versions of man that don't use -l.
375 * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it
376 to much of a PITA to do this, since -t makes git-pull require the
377 repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
378 git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
379 that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane
380 about pulling down all tags. It's insane. Live with it, or configure your

398 mr (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

405 mr (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
408 * Allow -n to be passed a number to specify how deep to go into
409 subdirectories to find repositories to act on. Closes: #450621
412 * Make -j with no argument run unlimited jobs in parallel, like make -j
416 * Add a warning about runing too many jobs at a time.

423 Bloom. Closes: #449592

436 * Avoid creating parent directory for a checkout that will ultimately be
438 * Don't try to test the repo type when doing a checkout, that can't work
439 since the repo isn't there yet. It was actually checking the repo type

446 * Avoid using commands like git-config and instead use "git config".
447 In some configurations, only the main git command is in the path.
448 * Allow option bundling, mostly so "-j2" will work.
449 * Better error message if more than one repo type test matches a single

457 * Make registration work when no config file yet exists. Closes: #448422

461 mr (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
463 * Split up actions, so each rcs has its own set of action commands,
464 and mr tests to see what rcs is used by a repository, and dispatches
467 This will make it much easier to add new rcses, or modify just the
468 command that mr uses for one command for one rcs, without duplicating a
469 lot of code, and without needing to modify mr at all.
471 The old style unsplit actions are still supported, and are what most
472 mrconfig files will still use; this change is fully backwards compatible.
473 * Changed some things in the enviroment for the register action.
474 It's now run in the directory that the user specifies, and MR_REPO
475 is set to contain the basename of the directory that the checkout
476 command should check out. These changes should be backware compatible
477 to existing register actions.
478 * Add info and warning functions to the shell library. (madduck)
479 * Add git_bare and git_fake_bare rcs types to handle
480 bare and fake bare (non-bare with a detached worktree) git repositories.
481 (Diff and commit do not work yet to fake bare repos). (madduck)
482 * Add a vim modeline to preserve joey's tabbing prefs. (madduck)
483 * Add support for including one mrconfig file from another. Unlike chaining,
484 this doesn't change the paths, and is not tied to a particular
485 subdirectory. It's useful for loading up library mrconfig files.
486 * Split git fake-bare support out into a lib/git-fake-bare.
487 Partly because it's a good example of how to add a new revision control
488 type and use includes, and partly because it's currently too ugly to be
489 in mr itself due to bugs and limitations in git.

521 mr (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
524 * Removed special case repository deletion handling code. The same
525 thing can be accomplished in a mrconfig by skipping a repo unless
526 it exists, and printing a reminder on update. See the mrconfig file
528 * Fix output of "mr config DEFAULT lib".
529 * Change mr update to use git pull -t origin master, to make sure new tags
530 are pulled. And since those might not always be the right parameters
531 for git pull, any parameters passed to mr update will replace them.
534 * Add support for mercurial.
537 * Incorporate code based on Anthony Towns's mrs, to allow running
538 multiple jobs in parallel. The -j flag controls this.
539 This can produce enormous speedups. For me, mr update takes
540 12 minutes, while mr -j 10 update takes 1 minute!
