Debian Changelog mr (0.43)

2009

mr (0.43) unstable; urgency=low

   * Set User-Agent to "mr" when downloading the mrconfig file
     with mr bootstrap. Closes: #541778
   * Man page typo. Closes: #545412
   * mr bootstrap: Allow a directory to checkout into to be specified,
     and create it if necessary.
   * mr bootstrap: If the mrconfig file contains a repository named ".",
     check it out into the top level of the directory bootstrapped.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:22:32 -0400

mr (0.42) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add support for ~/.mrtrust, which can be used to list trusted mrconfig
     files. If you create this file, all files not listed in it will be treated
     as untrusted, and carefully limited in what they can do. This improves
     security when using mrconfig files provided by others.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:38:31 -0400

mr (0.41) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add -p switch, that makes mr search the current directory and its
     parents for a .mrconfig file to use.
   * Add `mr bootstrap`, which downloads an url to a .mrconfig file
     in the current directory and then checks out all repositories configured
     in it. This is intended for projects that want to publish a mrconfig file
     to automate use of their several repositories.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:38:58 -0400

mr (0.40) unstable; urgency=low

   * Pass --pull to bzr merge to avoid needing to commit
     merged changes. Closes: #524352

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:47:22 -0400

mr (0.39) unstable; urgency=low

   * Determine current branch for fake-bare update (martin f. krafft)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:50:54 -0400

mr (0.38) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove gitless lib. It turned out to be better to simply
     use git clone --shared when checking out. Sorry for the churn..

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:39:33 -0500

mr (0.37) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add "gitless" file to lib.
     This adds a special type of git repository, where the .git directory
     is stored on a file server, to avoid wasting space with it on the client.
   * Revert buggy change to directory printing code.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:40:59 -0500

mr (0.36) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add webcheckout command. See <http://kitenet.net/~joey/rfc/rel-vcs/>;
   * Fix display of repos configured at absolute path locations.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:42:07 -0500

2008

mr (0.35) unstable; urgency=low

   * Warn if an include command fails nonzero. Closes: #495306
   * Remove stray character in pod that uglified man page. Closes: #495731
   * Create ~/.mrlog not world readable.
   * Pass additional options to darcs push when pushing. Closes: #495734

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:51:00 -0400

mr (0.34) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix bug when remembering failed commands in offline mode.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 02 Aug 2008 12:27:21 -0400

mr (0.33) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add a push subcommand, which pushes committed changes for DCVS, and
     does nothing for svn/cvs. Closes: #491865

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:22:01 -0400

mr (0.32) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include the right (v2) version of GPL in the source.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:28:55 -0400

mr (0.31) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add an offline mode. When in offline mode, mr will remember commands
     that failed (presumably due to lack of network access), and will run
     them again once back online. (This is for all the laptop users
     like me who don't want to have to remember which git repos to mr push
     when they come back from a nice long hack in the woods. :-)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:19:23 -0400

mr (0.30) unstable; urgency=low

   [ martin f. krafft ]
   * Several git-fake-bare improvements.
 
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Fix mr -c <config> register. (Thanks, Daniel Bungert)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:38:31 -0400

mr (0.29) unstable; urgency=low

   * Allow environment variables in section headers. Pass such headers
     through the shell to expand them. Closes: #480421
   * For the checkout command, MR_REPO was set to the name of the parent
     directory of the directory to checkout. It is supposed to be the
     path to the directory itself though; fixed this. Closes: #480424

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 14 May 2008 19:38:18 -0400

mr (0.28) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use debhelper v7, rules file minimisation.
   * Add a Makefile.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:56:06 -0400

mr (0.27) unstable; urgency=low

   * Ignore exit code from darcs whatsnew, which can be nonzero if there
     are no changes. Closes: #476650

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:47:04 -0400

mr (0.26) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add -i option to start a shell if an operation fails. Closes: #474962

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:58:44 -0400

mr (0.25) unstable; urgency=low

   * git-fake-bare: Add support for diff, commit, and record. (madduck)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:56:17 -0400

mr (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

   * Correct GIT_CONFIG settings in git-svn. Closes: #463941

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 06 Feb 2008 13:04:30 -0500

mr (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix tests in git-svn include file to use MR_REPO. Closes: #463941

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:26:05 -0500

mr (0.22) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update bzr registration code to work with current version of bzr,
     using bzr info to get the url. Closes: #463867

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:04:59 -0500

mr (0.21) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add a git-svn file, which can be included to add support for git-svn
     repositories. Thanks to Clifford W. Hansen and Bastian Kleineidam
     for implementations. Closes: #462408

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:45:05 -0500

mr (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add -q flag.
   * darcs: Add -u to diff to get a more usual unified diff.
   * Add a "record" subcommand, borrowing termonology from darcs. This does a
     local commit, but does not push changes to remote repos.
   * Improve unison support.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:49:53 -0500

2007

mr (0.19) unstable; urgency=low

   * Support versions of man that don't use -l.
   * Updating git repos no longer uses git-pull -t by default. Git makes it
     to much of a PITA to do this, since -t makes git-pull require the
     repository and refspec be specified at the command line (which is a bug in
     git (#456035). mr used to hardcode those to "origin" and "master", but
     that's not always the right choice. So give up on forcing git to be sane
     about pulling down all tags. It's insane. Live with it, or configure your
     own update command.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:30:45 -0500

mr (0.18) unstable; urgency=low

   * darcs: Use record subcommand, there is no commit subcommand. Closes: #453501
   * darcs: De-p register code. Closes: #453502

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 29 Nov 2007 17:48:09 -0500

mr (0.17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Even bigger hammer: Set LC_ALL. Closes: #453305

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:18:40 -0500

mr (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use LC_MESSAGES=C not LANG=C, as if the user has LC_MESSAGES set, LANG
     won't override it. Closes: #453305

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:46:38 -0500

mr (0.15) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Allow -n to be passed a number to specify how deep to go into
     subdirectories to find repositories to act on. Closes: #450621
 
   [ Josh Triplett ]
   * Make -j with no argument run unlimited jobs in parallel, like make -j
     Closes: #452467
 
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Add a warning about runing too many jobs at a time.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:13:47 -0500

mr (0.14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Portability fixes for the non-POSIX shell of SunOS 5. Patch from Ken
     Bloom. Closes: #449592
   * Cut number of rcs tests run in half.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 11 Nov 2007 01:10:18 -0500

mr (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

   * -c was broken, fix. Closes: #449539

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:39:04 -0500

mr (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Avoid creating parent directory for a checkout that will ultimately be
     skipped.
   * Don't try to test the repo type when doing a checkout, that can't work
     since the repo isn't there yet. It was actually checking the repo type
     of the parent directory, which caused several unexpected behaviors.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 03 Nov 2007 14:22:00 -0400

mr (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

   * Avoid using commands like git-config and instead use "git config".
     In some configurations, only the main git command is in the path.
   * Allow option bundling, mostly so "-j2" will work.
   * Better error message if more than one repo type test matches a single
     directory.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:28:52 -0400

mr (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add a lib file for using unison with mr.
   * Make registration work when no config file yet exists. Closes: #448422

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:55:03 -0400

mr (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Split up actions, so each rcs has its own set of action commands,
     and mr tests to see what rcs is used by a repository, and dispatches
     the command.
 
     This will make it much easier to add new rcses, or modify just the
     command that mr uses for one command for one rcs, without duplicating a
     lot of code, and without needing to modify mr at all.
 
     The old style unsplit actions are still supported, and are what most
     mrconfig files will still use; this change is fully backwards compatible.
   * Changed some things in the enviroment for the register action.
     It's now run in the directory that the user specifies, and MR_REPO
     is set to contain the basename of the directory that the checkout
     command should check out. These changes should be backware compatible
     to existing register actions.
   * Add info and warning functions to the shell library. (madduck)
   * Add git_bare and git_fake_bare rcs types to handle
     bare and fake bare (non-bare with a detached worktree) git repositories.
     (Diff and commit do not work yet to fake bare repos). (madduck)
   * Add a vim modeline to preserve joey's tabbing prefs. (madduck)
   * Add support for including one mrconfig file from another. Unlike chaining,
     this doesn't change the paths, and is not tied to a particular
     subdirectory. It's useful for loading up library mrconfig files.
   * Split git fake-bare support out into a lib/git-fake-bare.
     Partly because it's a good example of how to add a new revision control
     type and use includes, and partly because it's currently too ugly to be
     in mr itself due to bugs and limitations in git.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 26 Oct 2007 03:00:40 -0400

mr (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Improve "in subdir" message.
   * Patch from Simon McVittie, to pass -a to darcs commands to avoid
     interactive updates. Closes: #447999

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 25 Oct 2007 06:22:45 -0400

mr (0.7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix inverted tests in tags command. (madduck)
   * Patch from Simon McVittie, adding support for darcs repositories.
     Closes: #447729

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 24 Oct 2007 01:18:27 -0400

mr (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add to the example mrconfig a "tags" command that lists tags.
     (Currently only for svn and git.)
   * hours_since was broken by design, and fixing it involved changing
     its calling convention. If you used the old version, the new version
     will error out.
   * Add ability to reorder repos, if you want mr to act on a given repo first
     or last.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:53:28 -0400

mr (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Removed special case repository deletion handling code. The same
     thing can be accomplished in a mrconfig by skipping a repo unless
     it exists, and printing a reminder on update. See the mrconfig file
     for an example.
   * Fix output of "mr config DEFAULT lib".
   * Change mr update to use git pull -t origin master, to make sure new tags
     are pulled. And since those might not always be the right parameters
     for git pull, any parameters passed to mr update will replace them.
 
   [ Alexander Wirt ]
   * Add support for mercurial.
 
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Incorporate code based on Anthony Towns's mrs, to allow running
     multiple jobs in parallel. The -j flag controls this.
     This can produce enormous speedups. For me, mr update takes
     12 minutes, while mr -j 10 update takes 1 minute!

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 21 Oct 2007 01:27:23 -0400

mr (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix mr register of a subdir to also work with -c.
   * Signal handling for commands run by mr, including handling of SIGINT
     to stop mr.
   * Ensure parent dirs exist prior to checkout. (madduck)
   * Output list of failed repos to stderr when -s is used.
   * Fix a bug caused by a stupid typo.
   * Add the -n switch, for disabling recursion.
   * Allow for more complex deleted tests, such as marking a repo deleted on
     some hosts, while not on others.
   * Support registering CVS repositories. Closes: #447171
   * MR_CONFIG now points to the config file that contains the repo mr is
     acting on.
   * Make mr register smarter about what mrconfig file to write to.
     (It probably does what you'd expect it to do now; if it doesn't, -c
     can still override.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:20:34 -0400

mr (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add a check to make sure the expected directory exists after checkout.
   * mr register will now write to whatever config file is specified with -c
   * Typo fixes from madduck.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:48:55 -0400

mr (0.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix line number display for config file parse errors.
   * Fix a bug in inheritance of default settings in chained .mrconfig files.
   * Add the -s option.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 16 Oct 2007 02:39:08 -0400

mr (0.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * First release.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 14 Oct 2007 14:14:40 -0400
