How 'bout this for an example (where change from [1] indicated by '*' above and below):

$ vcsh vcsh-bash init
$ vcsh vcsh-bash add ~/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc
$ vcsh vcsh-bash commit ...
# create vcsh-bash-remote==https://bitbucket.com/tlroche/vcsh-bash-remote
$ vcsh vcsh-bash push vcsh-bash-remote master

$ mkdir -p ~/info/software/vcsh/fake_repositories/vcsh-bash-fake/
# edit ~/info/software/vcsh/fake_repositories/vcsh-bash-fake/README.rst
$ pushd ~/info/software/vcsh/fake_repositories/vcsh-bash-fake/
$ ls -al # check to see that it indeed is there
$ vcsh vcsh-bash add README.rst
$ vcsh vcsh-bash status | head -n 20
...
> Changes to be committed:
...
>       new file:   README.rst
$ vcsh vcsh-bash commit -m 'add a README for the remote'
...
*  create mode 100644 README.rst

$ vcsh vcsh-bash push vcsh-bash-remote master
# https://bitbucket.com/tlroche/vcsh-bash-remote shows the README content

I'm sure I don't know much about `mr` other than that it means "[support for] multiple repositories" (and I might be wrong even about that :-) soooo ... can it support something like this?
