+ 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.
