I don't understand what you mean. can you explain all the steps involved so that I get where the problem lies?

per-repository? that's not bad, but I think settings for vcsh repo's should go into vcsh repo's.  mr is a nice addition to help out with mass-updating and such, but it should not become a source of "critical" configuration for vcsh repos IMHO
