It + supports any combination of subversion, git, cvs, mecurial, + bzr and darcs repositories, and support for other revision control systems + can easily be added. . - Any mix of revision control systems can be used with mr(1), and you can - define arbitrary actions for commands like "update", "checkout", or "commit". + It is extremely configurable via simple shell scripting. Some examples + of things it can do include: + . + * Update a repository no more frequently than once every twelve hours. + * Run an arbitrary command before committing to a repository. + * When updating a git repository, pull from two different upstreams + and merge the two together. + * Run several repository updates in parallel, greatly speeding up + the update process. + * Remember actions that failed due to a laptop being offline, so they + can be retried when it comes back online.
