madduck's git repository

Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each project:

[url "git://git.madduck.net/madduck/"]

1 The mr(1) command can checkout, update, or perform other actions on a set
2 of repositories as if they were one combined respository. It supports any
3 combination of subversion, git, cvs, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs, vcsh,
4 fossil and veracity repositories, and support for other revision control
5 systems can easily be added. (There are extensions adding support for
6 unison and git-svn.)
7
8 It is extremely configurable via simple shell scripting. Some examples
9 of things it can do include:
10
11 * Update a repository no more frequently than once every twelve hours.
12 * Run an arbitrary command before committing to a repository.
13 * When updating a git repository, pull from two different upstreams
14   and merge the two together.
15 * Run several repository updates in parallel, greatly speeding up
16   the update process.
17 * Remember actions that failed due to a laptop being offline, so they
18   can be retried when it comes back online.
