 =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.
+perform other actions on the repositories as if they were one big
+respository.
 
 Any mix of revision control systems can be used with B<mr>, and you can
 define arbitrary actions for commands like "update", "checkout", or "commit".
 
+B<mr> cds into and operates on all registered repsitories 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,

 The predefined commands should be fairly familiar to users of any revision

 B<mr> is configured by .mrconfig files. It starts by reading the .mrconfig
-file in your home directory. Each repository specified in a .mrconfig file
-can also have its own .mrconfig file in its root directory that can
-optionally be used as well. So you could have a ~/.mrconfig that registers a

-registers several additional repositories.
+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
 
 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.
+
+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
+given action. mr contains default handlers for the "update", "status", and
+"commit" actions, so normally you only need to specify what to do for
+"checkout".
+
+Note that these shell commands are run in a "set -e" shell
 environment, where any additional parameters you pass are available in
-"$@". B<mr> cds into the repository directory before running
-a command, except for the "checkout" command, which is run in the parent
-of the repository directory, since the repository isn't checked out yet.
+"$@". 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 "MR_REPO" environment variable is set to the path to the top of the
+repository.
+
+A few parameters have special meanings:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item skip
+
+If the "skip" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then B<mr>
+will skip acting on that repository.
+
+=item chain
 
-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.
 If the "chain" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, 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.)
 
-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".
+=item deleted
 
-For example:
+If the "deleted" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, 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 repsoitory's directory.
+This is useful when one mrconfig file is shared amoung multiple machines,
+to keep track of and remember to delete old repositories.
