		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, mecurial, bzr, and
		darcs 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.

		This package also includes webcheckout.
