B<mr> is a Multiple Repository management tool. It can checkout, update, or
perform other actions on a set of repositories as if they were one combined
repository. It supports any combination of subversion, git, cvs, mercurial,
-bzr, darcs and fossil repositories, and support for other revision
+bzr, darcs and fossil repositories, and support for other version
control systems can easily be added.
B<mr> cds into and operates on all registered repositories at or below your
looks for a .mrconfig file in the current directory, or in one of its
parent directories.

+Another way to use skip is for a lazy checkout. This makes mr skip

=item order
Unlike all other parameters, this parameter does not need to be placed
within a section.
+B<mr> ships several libraries that can be included to add support for
+additional version control type things (unison, git-svn, vcsh, git-fake-bare,
+git-subtree). To include them all, you could use:
+
+ include = cat /usr/share/mr/*
+
+See the individual files for details.

=item deleted
If the "deleted" parameter is set and its command returns true, then
When looking for a command to run for a given action, mr first looks for
a parameter with the same name as the action. If that is not found, it
-looks for a parameter named "rcs_action" (substituting in the name of the
-revision control system and the action). The name of the revision control
-system is itself determined by running each defined "rcs_test" action,
+looks for a parameter named "VCS_action" (substituting in the name of the
+version control system and the action). The name of the version control
+system is itself determined by running each defined "VCS_test" action,
until one succeeds.
Internally, mr has settings for "git_update", "svn_update", etc. To change
-the action that is performed for a given revision control system, you can
-override these rcs specific actions. To add a new revision control system,
-you can just add rcs specific actions for it.
