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.

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",
Normally you only need to specify what to do for "checkout". Here you
specify the command to run in order to create a checkout of the repository.
The command will be run in the parent directory, and must create the

Here are two examples. The first skips the repo unless

+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.

=item lib
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,

+version control system and the action). The name of the version control

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

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

due to being offline. You can delete or edit this file to remove commands,
or even to add other commands for 'mr online' to run. If the file is
present, mr assumes it is in offline mode.
=head1 EXTENSIONS
mr can be extended to support things such as unison and git-svn. Some
