My approach aka symlinks:

If you symlink, mr will clone, update, etc.

Joey approach aka lazy checkouts:

mr will only update etc if you cloned it yourself.

Joey's approach manages repos implicitly; mine forces you to make an
explicit decision. Both work, I prefer mine.

My patch kills them all other than the mr repo link. Simply `git am` it or
patch locally and undo what you don't like.
