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. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
