+To get started using mr, perhaps you already have some checked out
+repositories. Go into each one and run "mr register". Now mr has
+a list of them in ~/.mrconfig, which you can edit later to tune its
+operation.

+Suppose you've cd'd to ~/src, and it has many repositories under it.
+To update them all, run "mr update". To commit any pending changes in
+each, run "mr commit". To check the status of each, you could run
+"mr status".
