mr and git topic branches

[Christoph Groth]

Hi,

I like the idea behind "mr" a lot.  For example, it was really easy to
checkout the public part of joey's homedir on my machine.  I would like
to adopt something like you use to improve upon my current "unison"
setup.

I wonder how the users of "mr" deal with short-lived topic branches.
Ideally, it should be possible to create a new topic branch on one
machine, and then continue to work on it on some other machine.
(Without editing .mrconfig in-between)

Also, I wonder whether there is some way to use mr to sync one's
homedirs (that contain git repositories with software projects) with
occasional rebases.  Sometimes I would like to squash all the commits of
a topic branch together.  Does anyone know a way to do this that works
well with mr?

Cheers,
Christoph
