-* more revision control systems
-* support for tracking repo renames
-
-  It should be possible to tell mr that there used to be a repo at
-  src/foo/bar, and it's been moved to src/bar. mr would then detect if the
-  move needs to be done, and handle it. This is mostly useful when mrconfig
-  files are shared accross several systems.
-
-  [src/bar]
-  renamedfrom = src/foo/bar
+* For compatability, ~/.mrtrust has to exist before trust checks are
+  enabled. Change this in a flag day.
 
-  (Support multple renames of a single repo?)
+* After the mtrust flag day, consider making something similar to -p 
+  be enabled by default. 
 
-* repo deletions
+  It should not be identical to -p, for the following reason: -p causes
+  mr to only look at the mrconfig it finds in the path (like -c only looks
+  at the specified file). But by default, mr should certianly load the
+  ~/.mrconfig (and files it chains). This allows a user to globally
+  configure mr with aliases, etc. (Closes: #557963)
 
-  Handling repo deletions might also be possible, but is tricky, since
-  there's no good way to tell if a local checkout of a given repo is clean
-  and really should be deleted. Probably better for mr to just warn that a
-  repo still exists on disk that it is no longer managed.
-
-  [src/foo/baz]
-  deleted = yes
-
-* mr register
+* more revision control systems
 
-  Idea is you check out a repo and then use mr register to add it to the
-  closest mrconfig file.
+* a way to detect repos in a tree that are not registered, and warn
+  about or even auto-register them. (svn externals make this quite
+  difficult!)
 
-  mr register would be implemented as a shell command that then calls
-  mr config with flags that make it actually edit the mrconfig file:
+* When there are chained mrconfig files, mr could be smarter about
+  checkouts and updates. Ie, when a new version of an mrconfig file is
+  checked out or updated, throw all the info from the old one away, and
+  process the new one.
 
-  if [ -d "$MR_REPO/.svn" ]; then
-       url=$(svn info "$MR_REPO" | grep -i ^URL: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
-       if [ -z "$url" ]; then
-               error "cannot determine svn url"
-       fi
-       mr -c "$MR_CONFIG" config --add "$MR_REPO" --checkout="svn co $URL"
-  fi
+  Until this is fixed, checkouts and updates need to be manually repeated
+  after mrconfig files have changes.
