All other sections add repositories. The section header specifies the

paths. (Note that you can use environment variables in section names; they
will be passed through the shell for expansion. For example,

+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",

specify the command to run in order to create a checkout of the repository.

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
