50 * Added support for vcsh, enable with: include = cat /usr/share/mr/vcsh
51 Thanks, Richard Hartmann
52 * Block tty control codes in untrusted mr config files.
53 * Correct printing of line numbers when includes are used. Closes: #650952

58 * Optimizations. Commands like "mr list" run up to 5 times faster.
59 * Fix shell escaping of parameters passed to mr commands. Closes: #644672
60 * Added --force option that disables repository skipping.
61 * Repositories using skip = lazy will not be checked out by "mr update"

75 mr (1.05) unstable; urgency=low
77 * README now gives a quick into to using mr.
78 * Brought back the "deleted" parameter, which provides an easy way to
79 mark repositories that should be removed.
80 * Allow untrusted mrconfig files to set parameters to true/false.
81 So skip=true or deleted=true can be used in an untrusted mrconfig file.
82 * Also allow order=N in an untrusted mrconfig file.
83 * Support bzr checkouts, which are updated with "bzr update",
84 and to which bzr automatically pushes commits. Closes: #643589

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

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

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

178 * Avoid using abs_path to determine canonical repo path, as that fails
179 when the repo has not yet been checked out.

202 mr (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
204 * Set User-Agent to "mr" when downloading the mrconfig file
205 with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
206 * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
207 * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
208 and create it if necessary.
209 * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
210 check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.

214 mr (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
216 * Add support for ~/.mrtrust, which can be used to list trusted mrconfig
217 files. If you create this file, all files not listed in it will be treated
218 as untrusted, and carefully limited in what they can do. This improves
219 security when using mrconfig files provided by others.
221 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:38:31 -0400
223 mr (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
225 * Add -p switch, that makes mr search the current directory and its
226 parents for a .mrconfig file to use.
227 * Add `mr bootstrap`, which downloads an url to a .mrconfig file
228 in the current directory and then checks out all repositories configured
229 in it. This is intended for projects that want to publish a mrconfig file
230 to automate use of their several repositories.

237 merged changes. Closes: #524352

247 mr (0.38) unstable; urgency=low
249 * Remove gitless lib. It turned out to be better to simply
250 use git clone --shared when checking out. Sorry for the churn..
252 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:39:33 -0500
254 mr (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
256 * Add "gitless" file to lib.
257 This adds a special type of git repository, where the .git directory
258 is stored on a file server, to avoid wasting space with it on the client.
259 * Revert buggy change to directory printing code.
261 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:40:59 -0500
263 mr (0.36) unstable; urgency=low

272 * Warn if an include command fails nonzero. Closes: #495306
273 * Remove stray character in pod that uglified man page. Closes: #495731
274 * Create ~/.mrlog not world readable.
275 * Pass additional options to darcs push when pushing. Closes: #495734

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

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

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

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

338 are no changes. Closes: #476650

384 * darcs: Add -u to diff to get a more usual unified diff.
385 * Add a "record" subcommand, borrowing termonology from darcs. This does a
386 local commit, but does not push changes to remote repos.
387 * Improve unison support.

391 mr (0.19) unstable; urgency=low
393 * Support versions of man that don't use -l.
394 * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it
395 to much of a PITA to do this, since -t makes git-pull require the
396 repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
397 git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
398 that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane

417 mr (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

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

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

544 thing can be accomplished in a mrconfig by skipping a repo unless
545 it exists, and printing a reminder on update. See the mrconfig file
547 * Fix output of "mr config DEFAULT lib".
548 * Change mr update to use git pull -t origin master, to make sure new tags
549 are pulled. And since those might not always be the right parameters
550 for git pull, any parameters passed to mr update will replace them.
