 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-B<mr> is a Multiple Repository management tool. It allows you to register a
-set of repositories in a .mrconfig file, and then checkout, update, or
-perform other actions on all of the repositories at once.
+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
+respository. It supports any combination of subversion, git, cvs, mecurial,
+bzr and darcs repositories, and support for other revision control systems can
+easily be added.
+
+B<mr> cds into and operates on all registered repositories at or below your
+working directory. Or, if you are in a subdirectory of a repository that
+contains no other registered repositories, it will stay in that directory,
+and work on only that repository,
+
+These predefined commands should be fairly familiar to users of any revision
+control system:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item checkout (or co)
+
+Checks out any repositories that are not already checked out.
+
+=item update
+
+Updates each repository from its configured remote repository.
+
+If a repository isn't checked out yet, it will first check it out.
+
+=item status
+
+Displays a status report for each repository, showing what
+uncommitted changes are present in the repository.
+
+=item commit (or ci)
+
+Commits changes to each repository. (By default, changes are pushed to the
+remote repository too, when using distributed systems like git.)
+
+The optional -m parameter allows specifying a commit message.
+
+=item diff
+
+Show a diff of uncommitted changes.
+
+=item log
+
+Show the commit log.
+
+=back
+
+These commands are also available:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item list (or ls)
+
+List the repositories that mr will act on.
+
+=item register
 
-Any mix of revision control systems can be used with B<mr>, and you can
-define arbitrary actions like "update", "checkout", or "commit".
+Register an existing repository in a mrconfig file. By default, the
+repository in the current directory is registered, or you can specify a
+directory to register.
+
+The mrconfig file that is modified is chosen by either the -c option, or by
+looking for the closest known one at or below the current directory.
+
+=item config
+
+Adds, modifies, removes, or prints a value from a mrconfig file. The next
+parameter is the name of the section the value is in. To add or modify
+values, use one or more instances of "parameter=value". Use "parameter=" to
+remove a parameter. Use just "parameter" to get the value of a parameter.
+
+For example, to add (or edit) a repository in src/foo:
+
+  mr config src/foo checkout="svn co svn://example.com/foo/trunk foo"
+
+To show the command that mr uses to update the repository in src/foo:
+
+  mr config src/foo update
+
+To see the built-in library of shell functions contained in mr:
+
+  mr config DEFAULT lib
+
+The ~/.mrconfig file is used by default. To use a different config file,
+use the -c option.
+
+=item help
+
+Displays this help.
+
+=back
+
+Actions can be abbreviated to any unambiguous subsctring, so
+"mr st" is equivilant to "mr status", and "mr up" is equivilant to "mr
+update"
+
+Additional parameters can be passed to most commands, and are passed on
+unchanged to the underlying revision control system. This is mostly useful
+if the repositories mr will act on all use the same revision control
+system.

 =head1 FILES
 
-B<mr> is configured by .mrconfig files. It searches for .mrconfig files in
-your home directory, and in the root directory of each repository specified
-in a .mrconfig file. So you could have a ~/.mrconfig that registers a
-repository ~/src, that itself contains a ~/src/.mrconfig file, that in turn
-registers several additional repositories.
+B<mr> is configured by .mrconfig files. It starts by reading the .mrconfig
+file in your home directory, and this can in turn chain load .mrconfig files
+from repositories.
+
+Here is an example .mrconfig file:
+
+  [src]
+  checkout = svn co svn://svn.example.com/src/trunk src
+  chain = true
+
+  [src/linux-2.6]
+  checkout = git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git &&
+       cd linux-2.6 &&
+       git checkout -b mybranch origin/master
 
 The .mrconfig file uses a variant of the INI file format. Lines starting with
-"#" are comments. Lines ending with "\" are continued on to the next line.
-Sections specify where each repository is located, relative to the
-directory that contains the .mrconfig file.
+"#" are comments. Values can be continued to the following line by
+indenting the line with whitespace.
+
+The "DEFAULT" section allows setting default values for the sections that
+come after it.
+
+The "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
+directory where the repository is located. This is relative to the directory
+that contains the mrconfig file, but you can also choose to use absolute
+paths.
 
 Within a section, each parameter defines a shell command to run to handle a
-given action. Note that these shell commands are run in a "set -e" shell
-environment, and B<mr> cds into the repository directory before running
-them, except for the "checkout" command, which is run in the parent of the
-repository directory, since the repository isn't checked out yet.
+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".
 
-There are two special parameters. If the "skip" parameter is set and
-its command returns nonzero, then B<mr> will skip acting on that repository.
+Note that these shell commands are run in a "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
+are run inside the repository, though not necessarily at the top of it.
 
-The "default" section allows setting up default handlers for each action,
-and is overridden by the contents of other sections. mr contains default
-handlers for the "update", "status", and "commit" actions, so normally
-you only need to specify what to do for "checkout".
+The "MR_REPO" environment variable is set to the path to the top of the
+repository. The "MR_CONFIG" environment variable is set to the .mrconfig file
+that defines the repo being acted on, or, if the repo is not yet in a config
+file, the .mrconfig file that should be modified to register the repo.
 
-For example:
+A few parameters have special meanings:
 
-  [src]
-  checkout = svn co svn://svn.example.com/src/trunk src
+=over 4
 
-  [src/linux-2.6]
-  # only check this out on kodama
-  skip = test $(hostname) != kodama
-  checkout = git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
+=item skip
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+  skip = test $(whoami) != joey
+  skip = [ "$1" = update ] && ! hours_since "$1" 12
+
+=item order
+
+The "order" parameter can be used to override the default ordering of
+repositories. The default order value is 10. Use smaller values to make
+repositories be processed earlier, and larger values to make repositories
+be processed later.
+
+Note that if a repository is located in a subdirectory of another
+repository, ordering it to be processed earlier is not recommended.
+
+=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. (You
+should avoid chaining from repositories with untrusted committers.)
+
+=item lib
+
+The "lib" parameter can specify some shell code that will be run before each
+command, this can be a useful way to define shell functions for other commands
+to use.
