All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

 mr is intended to be very self-contained, since it might be useful to check
 it into ~/bin when keeping your home in version control. It has no
-dependencies aside from basic perl.

+more dependencies, specifically the LWP::Simple and HTML::Parser CPAN
+modules, and optionally the URI module.)
+
+To install mr, just copy mr into your PATH somewhere.

+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".
 
-webcheckout has more dependencies, specifically the LWP::Simple and

+For further details, and lots of configuration options, see the mr(1) man
