Subject: mr up does not play with vcsh
Message-ID: <alyVSYWxnL-2BJ9e@ikki.ket>

Hi folks,

I use mr a lot with vcsh and usually it works well.

But on one root accoutnt I get the following error:
~> mr up
mr update: unknown repository type and no defined update command for /root/.config/vcsh/repo.d/ssh.git

mr update: unknown repository type and no defined update command for /root/.config/vcsh/repo.d/vim.git

mr update: unknown repository type and no defined update command for /root/.config/vcsh/repo.d/zsh.git

mr update: finished (3 failed; 7 skipped)

That is strange as they are used the same as on other systems.

The version I use is 1.20180726 and is exactly the same I use on other
systems.

Anyone an idea?

Regards
   Klaus

I found the problem. For some reason I do not know about, there was no
refs/tags directory. (There are no tags in that repos at all.)

So maybe that is a one time glitch.
