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 git, svn, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs, vcsh,
|
|
fossil, and veracity repositories, and support for other version control
|
|
systems can easily be added. (There are extensions adding support for unison
|
|
and git-svn.)
|
|
|
|
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 the webcheckout command.
