-mr is a Multiple Repository management tool for Mercurial and Git
+myrepos, a tool to manage all your version control repos
+
+You have a lot of version control repositories. Sometimes you want to
+update them all at once. Or push out all your local changes. You use
+special command lines in some repositories to implement specific workflows.
+Myrepos provides a `mr` command, which is a tool to manage all your version
+control repositories.
+
+It supports git, svn, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs, fossil and veracity.

+The mr command 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. (The included webcheckout
+command has 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.
 
-Just copy mr into your PATH somewhere, if it isn't already, and set up
-~/.mrconfig
+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".
