mr can look much nicer if you take advantage of locality and chaining.
By locality, I mean putting a mrconfig close to the directories it
checks out, rather than in some standards-body controlled directory like
~/.config.

For example, you could have:

~/.mrconfig:

[.git-repos/CLI]
chain = true

[.git-repos/GUI]
skip = test_non_gui_machine
chain = true

~/.git-repos/CLI/.mrconfig:

[zsh]
...

[mutt]
...

~/.git-repos/GUI/.mrconfig:

[urxvt]
...

[fonts]
...
