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

parent directories.

+The C<ALIAS> section allows adding aliases for actions. Each parameter
is an alias, and its value is the action to use.
All other sections add repositories. The section header specifies the
that contains the mrconfig file, but you can also choose to use absolute
paths. (Note that you can use environment variables in section names; they
will be passed through the shell for expansion. For example,
-"[$HOSTNAME]", or "[${HOSTNAME}foo]")
+C<[$HOSTNAME]>, or C<[${HOSTNAME}foo]>).
Within a section, each parameter defines a shell command to run to handle a
given action. mr contains default handlers for "update", "status",
-"commit", and other standard actions. Normally you only need to specify what
-to do for "checkout".

+The command will be run in the parent directory, and must create the
+repository's directory. So use C<git clone>, C<svn checkout>, C<bzr branch>
+or C<bzr checkout> (for a bound branch), etc.
+
+Note that these shell commands are run in a C<set -e> shell
environment, where any additional parameters you pass are available in
-"$@". The "checkout" command is run in the parent of the repository
-directory, since the repository isn't checked out yet. All other commands

repository. (For the "register" action, "MR_REPO" is instead set to the
basename of the directory that should be created when checking the
repository out.)

+
+The C<MR_ACTION> environment variable is set to the command being run
+(update, checkout, etc).
A few parameters have special meanings:
If the "skip" parameter is set and its command returns true, then B<mr>
will skip acting on that repository. The command is passed the action
-name in $1.
+name in C<$1>.
Here are two examples. The first skips the repo unless
mr is run by joey. The second uses the hours_since function
(included in mr's built-in library) to skip updating the repo unless it's
been at least 12 hours since the last update.
+ [mystuff]
+ checkout = ...
skip = test `whoami` != joey
+
+ [linux]
+ checkout = ...
skip = [ "$1" = update ] && ! hours_since "$1" 12
+
+Another way to use skip is for a lazy checkout. This makes mr skip
+operating on a repo unless it already exists. To enable the
+repo, you have to explicitly check it out (using "mr -d foo checkout").
+
+ [foo]
+ checkout = ...
+ skip = lazy
=item order
=item chain
If the "chain" parameter is set and its command returns true, then B<mr>
-will try to load a .mrconfig file from the root of the repository.
+will try to load a F<.mrconfig> file from the root of the repository.
=item include
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
B<mr> will treat the repository as deleted. It won't ever actually delete
the repository, but it will warn if it sees the repository's directory.
-This is useful when one mrconfig file is shared amoung multiple machines,

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,

until one succeeds.
Internally, mr has settings for "git_update", "svn_update", etc. To change

=head1 UNTRUSTED MRCONFIG FILES
Since mrconfig files can contain arbitrary shell commands, they can do
anything. This flexibility is good, but it also allows a malicious mrconfig
file to delete your whole home directory. Such a file might be contained
-inside a repository that your main ~/.mrconfig checks out. To

avoid worries about evil commands in a mrconfig file, mr defaults to

mode. In untrusted mode, mrconfig files are limited to running only known
safe commands (like "git clone") in a carefully checked manner.

or even to add other commands for 'mr online' to run. If the file is
present, mr assumes it is in offline mode.

mr can be extended to support things such as unison and git-svn. Some
