+Personally I would do backups using a regular backup tool like restic or borg. This way you also backup the git config for each repository and any uncommitted changes or modifications to the index and you also get history of those things. Just using git bundle like that will miss those things.

+BTW: my use of the mr backup command is per-repository and I use it to rsync remote repos locally. I then backup those with restic.

+I am wondering if/how myrepos can be used to backup all (git) repositories under its control. By "backup", I mean
+1. for every repository, zip up the repository data (ie, the `.git` subdir) into a file named `repository_name_<timestamp>.zip` (or tgz or whatever).
+2. move that zip file into a globally specified directory (same for all repositories)
+
+Is there something already prepared that I can use?

+I can see how tag based classification of repos would be really useful and I would welcome a patch for that, but until someone writes it, there is no easy way to do this, especially if the subsets overlap. For now the best option is to split each subset out into a separate .mrconfig-foo config and have your global .mrconfig file include all the subsets. If your subsets overlap then keep each config file separate without includes. Then when you want to run on a subset, you simply tell mr to use the config file for that subset.

+I often want to run a specific operation on a fixed subset of repos.
+The operation itself is valid for all repos, just I usually don't want to run it when I am doing specific tasks.
+E.g. when I am working on TaskA, I only want the operation to run on repo1 and repo3, whereas when I am running TaskB
+I want to run them on repo2 and repo3.
+
+Is there some way to preselect a (potentially large) list of repos to run an operation on?
+Ideally, I would imaging to add some kind of tags or labels on the repos section so it is specific to the repo
+and not coded in the operation itself and then have mr select the repos with the specific tags?

+E.g. something like this pseudo code
+

+    [repo2]
+    tag = TaskB

+and then run the update operation with something like

+I had a mr commit in /etc hang. Investigation showed it was trying to stat

+It seems unncessary for mr run in /foo to cause mr to stat repos in /bar

+Tracked the stat to the use of `safe_abs_path` in `loadconfig`.

+My git_fetch is just a workaround for something that IMO belongs in git itself that I haven't gotten around to implementing in a way that would be acceptable to git upstream. I have a branch that implements what I wanted, but it got rejected upstream and I never got around to figuring out a way forward:

+https://public-inbox.org/git/1445741384-30828-1-git-send-email-pabs3@bonedaddy.net/
+
+Personally, I think in many instances `git pull` should be deprecated in favour of `git fetch` plus reviewing the incoming changes from upstream and then if appropriate fast-forwarding/rebasing/merging branches and fixing any issues. The obvious exception is upstreams that move so fast that review is not possible (like Linux) or people who have way too many repos checked out like me :)

+The default `mr update` just runs `git pull`, which allegedly \"is shorthand for git fetch followed by git merge FETCH_HEAD\" according to the docs. Unfortunately `git pull` doesn't seem to respect the `alias.fetch` config and I don't see any other config option to make git update/fetch pull from all remotes. We could change `mr update` to run `git pull --all` instead I guess, not sure if there are any downsides to that apart from the behaviour change...

+About the TOFU issue, agreed that is better for security. I switched away because my `ControlMaster autoask` at the time was very annoying during `mr fetch`. On alioth I had an SSH key for read-only git access with no prompt and a key for read-write git access with a prompt, but that doesn't appear to be supported by gitlab/etc. I probably should rethink how to do this more optimally at some point.
+
+For the git fetch issue, you could do something like what I do here to make `mr -m fetch` not print things for remotes that don't have any changes and skip remotes that I disabled fetching from because they are gone now. Then just add any checks you want; if the remote is a USB stick and the path doesn't exist, skip the remote. You could also just make a git_fetchorigin command to only fetch one remote.
+
+```
+# work around git annoyance with mr -m fetch
+git_fetch =
+        git remote |
+                while read -r remote ; do
+                        if [ xtrue != \"x$(git config --bool \"remote.$remote.skipFetchAll\")\" ] ; then

+> I've worked to getting most of my remote repos over https instead of SSH. This is mainly because I have a prompt for each use of my SSH keys, but also helps with this problem.
+
+My [wrapper script](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/scripts/raw/master/sync-boxes) takes care of that: it makes sure SSH works first...
+
+But it's true I might have better performance over HTTPS, I guess. It's just that I like the idea of pulling everything over SSH: I have a solid TOFU there that I don't have over HTTPS... And since this is an automated process, I really prefer to have that solid trust path in place. Plus setting up each push/pull URL is annoying, although there are nice ways around that, as you said...
+
+> Instead of configuring ControlMaster for all SSH connections, you could also just configure it for the hosts that you can only use git with (I'm thinking github.com/etc).
+>
+> I suggest putting SSH sockets in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR instead of HOME, so you never get stale sockets after reboot and never get backup programs looking at sockets (some do).
+
+Excellent suggestions, thanks!
+
+> To be honest I'm not sure how myrepos could selectively enable ControlMaster for commands it runs. The only thing I can think of would be to modify PATH to add a script that runs the real ssh with additional options, but that seems pretty hacky.
+
+Well, what I was thinking of is that etckeeper is the one that calls the git processes ultimately, so it could do some magic with `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` for example... It's VCS-specific of course... :/
+
+> Either way, if ControlMaster provides very little improvement for you, adding it via myrepos instead of via the SSH config isn't going to change that.
+
+I guess I would first need to figure out *that* part of course. ;)
+
+> PS: I only ever do mr -j10 fetch and I leave updating branches to interactive shells where I can deal with any conflicts manually.
+
+That's also a good point, I always forget about `fetch`, thanks!
+
+One of the problems i have with `fetch` though is that it pulls *all* remotes that are configured. In some cases, those refer to USB keys or non-existent, transient repos... For example, I have this in one repo:
+
+    anarcat@angela:calendes(master)$ git rv
+    origin	anarc.at:/var/www/calendes (fetch)
+    origin	anarc.at:/var/www/calendes (push)
+    sneakernet	/media/anarcat/KINGSTON/calendes/ (fetch)
+    sneakernet	/media/anarcat/KINGSTON/calendes/ (push)
+
+It fails with the following:
+
+    mr fetch: /home/anarcat/Pictures/calendes
+    Récupération de origin
+    Récupération de sneakernet
+    fatal: '/media/anarcat/KINGSTON/calendes/' does not appear to be a git repository
+    fatal: Impossible de lire le dépôt distant.
+
+This also makes `fetch` slower, as it fetches more remotes.
+
+> Perhaps by \"dispatch stuff much better\" you mean just to avoid the race condition?
+
+Well, what I would like would be to the process to be much faster. I am not sure it's possible at all! I figured that ControlMaster might help, but I stumbled upon the race condition, so maybe that's the first thing to solve. Maybe, even, that's a bug in the ssh client itself that should *never* run into such a race condition (it could easily *wait* just a bit for another process to setup the socket correctly when it's created, for example).
+
+Here's a new benchmark, with your `ControlPersist` setting. I still
+get those errors, unfortunately:
+
+    ControlSocket /run/user/1000/ssh-control-local-user@remote.example.com:22 already exists, disabling multiplexing
+
+... which feel more and more like a bug in SSH: if it exists, use it!
+If you can't use it, just wait! If you can't wait, just shut the hell
+up, no? :)
+
+Anyways, without the multiplexer:
+
+    13.45user 6.51system 2:10.01elapsed 15%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 44900maxresident)k
+    0inputs+14400outputs (0major+514164minor)pagefaults 0swaps
+
+And with the multiplexer:
+
+    8.75user 4.86system 1:48.98elapsed 12%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 44972maxresident)k
+    1760inputs+14000outputs (39major+474784minor)pagefaults 0swaps
+
+So it still shaves off a good 20 seconds, which is not negligible. But
+since I now use `fetch` instead of update, I'm actually back to square
+one, and get tons of warnings to go through. :p
+
+Can't help but think this is just a bug with ssh though...

+Perhaps by \"dispatch stuff much better\" you mean just to avoid the race condition? Grouping accesses to the same host isn't likely to improve speed, especially if it is an overloaded host you probably want to spread out accesses instead. For spreading accesses out, it isn't possible for myrepos to know what host(s) the command it runs will connect to, since that info is in the git config for each repo and the myrepos copy of that config could be out of date and would be missing non-origin remotes.

+I've worked to getting most of my remote repos over https instead of SSH. This is mainly because I have a prompt for each use of my SSH keys, but also helps with this problem.
+
+I'm using ControlMaster for all SSH connections, with some situations where I turn it off, and I find it works fairly well apart from the annoying race condition you mention during `mr fetch`. I use time-limited connections so I don't have SSH running forever.
+
+Instead of configuring ControlMaster for all SSH connections, you could also just configure it for the hosts that you can only use git with (I'm thinking github.com/etc).

+I have a ton of repos in my `~/.mrconfig`, so a full `mr update` takes a long time, even if parallelized. A lot of those remotes are on the same server, however, so I can't help but wonder if it would save time to enable `ControlMaster` from mr directly. I know I could set that up in my `~/.ssh/config` myself, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable setting that all for all use cases. If it would be done in mr, it could setup the multiplexer and tear it down when done...
+
+Here a full pull (`mr -j10 update`) takes:
+
+    30.39user 8.05system 1:51.04elapsed 34%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 73320maxresident)k
+    0inputs+15664outputs (0major+529937minor)pagefaults 0swaps
+
+One trick is that multiplexing might fail with `-j` because of a race condition that ssh doesn't seem to handle very well:
+
+    ControlSocket /home/anarcat/.ssh/control-master-747c83a00480de0860fde4d7df86be06fe25e555.sock already exists, disabling multiplexing
+
+That's with the following configuration:
+
+     ControlMaster auto
+     ControlPath ~/.ssh/control-master-%C.sock
+
+So with that configuration, there's very little improvement, unfortunately. I would bet that, however, mr could be smarter than this and dispatch stuff much better...

+Hi,
+
+I too experienced this issue with `order` an `jobs`, but in my case I wanted
+to process one specific repository (the vcsh one with `order=1`) **before**
+all the others.
+
+The specific case I wanted to cover is when the main vcsh repository has some
+updated hooks, so I want it to be updated before updating or cloning all the
+other repositories managed by vcsh.
+
+The idea of having some value of `order` mean \"*first*\" or \"*last*\", and
+serialize the repositories which use them outside of the multi-processing
+dispatch is tempting.
+
+Ciao,
+   Antonio

+This isn't possible at this time, the mr command-line options are only able to be set on the command-line.
+
+The minimal option is implemented in mr, not in the *_status values that specify commands. It works by supervising the output of the commands and only printing the mr parts of the output when there is command output or errors.
+
+I can see that this idea would definitely be useful to some folks.
+
+I think any implementation of this idea probably should have these features:
+
+* allow replacing, prepending, appending and setting the default options like the other value setting mechanisms do, for maximum flexibility in setting up the options
+* allow setting the options in the DEFAULT section or in any of the repository sections, to allow setting them on a per-repository basis
+* allow setting the options differently for each command type and each repository type, for maximum flexibility
+* add options for turning off options (like --no-minimal), so that there is more flexibility about when to turn them on/off
+* *only* allow setting a whitelisted set of *safe* options, so that this doesn't cause any security issues

+##Possible Bug
+
+I've been using mr to manage dozens of git repos for many years (most live in my home directory). Today, I ran into something that didn't work. I had decided to manage `/opt` in a git repo, and I added the following configuration lines:
+
+    [/opt]
+    checkout = git clone 'https://github.com/tomhoover/docker-compose.git' 'opt'
+    skip = ! test "$(whoami)" = root
+    fixups = chmod 755 /opt
+
+Running `mr up` didn't do anything (nor even list the `/opt` repo within its output--it acted as if it had been skipped), so I deleted the `skip` line above and tried again--still a no-go.
+
+ All of the above was attempted while logged in as **root**, and I verified the **/opt** directory did not already exist.
+
+##Additional info
+To verify git was working properly, I executed `git clone 'https://github.com/tomhoover/docker-compose.git' 'opt' && chmod 755 /opt` from **/**, as **root**, and it worked as expected. After manually cloning the repo into **/opt**, I attemped `mr up`, `mr push`, etc; however, mr continues to ignore the **/opt** git repo.
+
+From my reading of the **mrconfig.complex** example configuration file, there should be nothing preventing a repo from living at **/**, as the following example is included:
+
+    [/etc]
+    # I use etckeeper to keep /etc in git. But it only works if I'm root, 
+    # and if it's not already in etc, skip it.
+    skip = ! test -d /etc/.git || ! test "$(whoami)" = root

+I am by no way a command line expert, but I was unable to get the sort-ini method to work for me so I looked into generalized sorting by pattern and came across a site that had an example that was pretty close to what I needed.
+
+A couple of paragraphs down the original example is labeled \"Robbins' awk based shell pipeline\"
+ 
+http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david/linadmin/labs/sort-multiline-blocks.htm
+
+From there I came to this
+
+```
+gawk -v RS=\"\" '{ gsub(\"\n\", \"###\"); print }' .mrconfig | sort -f | gawk -v ORS=\"\n\n\" '{ gsub(\"###\", \"\n\"); print }' > .mrconfig.tmp && mv .mrconfig.tmp .mrconfig
+```
+
+The `###` is my temp replacement for the newline so that sort can be used, at which point it is returned to a newline. I had trouble with the `^Z` characters in the example. 
+
+Which I then set up as an alias
+
+```
+alias mrsort=\"gawk -v RS=\\"\\" '{ gsub(\\"\n\\", \\"###\\"); print }' .mrconfig | sort -f | gawk -v ORS=\\"\n\n\\" '{ gsub(\\"###\\", \\"\n\\"); print }' > .mrconfig.tmp && mv .mrconfig.tmp .mrconfig\"

+# Overview
+I found this script pretty useful but lacking some basic commands for cleanup like "unregister" or "delete" existing repos, so I decided to try to make my own using the DEFAULT aliases in config file.
+
+## Settings in ~/.mrconfig
+I've added the following definitions in my ~/.mrconfig file:
+    [DEFAULT]
+    git_gc = git gc "$@"
+    unregister = sed -i "\|${PWD}|,+2 d" ${MR_CONFIG}
+    delete = rm -rI "$@" "$PWD" && sed -i "\|${PWD}|,+2 d" ${MR_CONFIG}
+
+While the first command is an example in the documentation the other two basically iterate over available repos in "mr ls" to either just remove the entry lines from mrconfig file (mr unregister) or delete existing directory with confirmations (mr delete) and then unregister, you can force using (mr delete -f)
+
+## Unregister repos already deleted
+I also had the situation that some repositories were already deleted and so "mr unregister" would fail because it could not "change to directory".
+I've applied the following workaround:
+    repo_list=$(mr ls 2>&1 | egrep -o '/.*:' | sed s'|/:||')
+    for repo in ${repo_list}; do
+        sed -i "\|${repo}|,+2 d" ~/.mrconfig
+    done
+
+I hope this helps other users and hopefully, the new commands will get into the default release eventually.

+I don't think I understand the value of this plugin.  The only gbp command that I can imagine wanting to run in batch across all my repos is `gbp clone`, so I could see the value of a short plugin that handles cloning and registering gbp repos.  But I don't see why you would ever want to run `gbp dch` across more than one repo at once.

+it would be nice if mr would keep things in order while adding stuff to our every-growing `.mrconfig` files. I try to keep mine sorted, and did that by hand until I had to add a bunch of entries at once (because i managed to [[detect_unregistered_repos_in_tree]]), and it was then really impractical.

+I hacked together this ridiculous Python script which reads a .INI file from stdin (or commandline arguments) and spews out a sorted version on stdout. A simple way to use this is:

+What it does is look in the current directory, one level deep, for directories and check if they are in `~/.mrconfig`. If they aren't, ask if they should be registered.

+Hi; 
+I think that project is absolutely great. However, I was disappointed that symlinks are not supported. I, too, have fallen victim to a $HOME symlink situation, but additionally, my idea of creating a generic symlink-based \"views on my repositories\"-kind of structure vanished before my eyes. I really think this project could need a propper refactoring with respect to resolving symlinks with respect to BOTH path-to-configuration-file and path-to-repository. I am absolutely no good with perl, however, as I learned when trying to fix it myself the last few hours :/
+
+Thank you in any case for the project, because it is a nice help already! however, proper symlink support seems a must-have to me at least for real adaption into my core setup and developing stuff around it.
+
+Cheers!
+S.

+It seems that, when it tries to run a command that is not available, or
+if waiting for the command somehow fails, mr incorrectly interprets

+My last feature request today, I promise!
+
+A workflow that is common for Github-style hosting sites is for there to be a canonical repo for a given software project, and for contributors to have a separate "fork" of that repository, to which they push changes. The changes are merged into the canonical repository by way of Pull Requests, an out-of-band process (from the pov of command line git).
+
+I've just cloned 27 github repositories that belong to a given organisation and I wish to configure an additional remote, corresponding to my github fork, for each repo. It would be nice if mr could facilitate this in an organised way; in  addition, repositories in this github organisation (or put it another way, in this part of my filesystem hierarchy) might come and go over time (see [[nicities when working with github and similar]]).
