 Description: a Multiple Repository management tool
- The mr(1) command 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.
+ The mr(1) command 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. (There are extensions adding support for
+ unison and git-svn.)
  .
- 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.
+  .
+  This package also includes webcheckout.
