Package: myrepos Version: 1.20140227 Severity: wishlist Let's say A chains to B, then A has a stanza [B], which usually also includes a checkout command.
Within B, if . should also be controlled by mr, then it needs
a stanza for [.]. Now, if mr is run in the context of A, the B root
repository gets processed twice:
mr status: /home/madduck/debian/debconf/team/pub-data
mr status: /home/madduck/debian/debconf/team/pub-data/.
which is mostly cosmetical until you start using -j and potentially
have two processes work on the same repo at the same time, which is
just asking for trouble.
I think this could be done in two ways:
1. Either chain==true repos should only ever be processed for
"checkout", but nothing else, assuming that the sub-repo
specifies [.];
2. One could introduce chain==pure as a keyword to indicate this
condition.
