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, mercurial,
|
||
|
|
bzr, darcs, cvs, and fossil repositories, and support for other
|
||
|
|
revision 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.
