Dear Joey, thank you very much for developing mr. I think it has an enormous potential for helping cross-team work in Debian.
In the case of the pkg-eucalyptus Alioth packaging team, I am working on a mr configuration file that will help to check out our core packages from the pkg-eucalyptus and and pkg-java repositories, as well as some of their dependancies. (If you are curious, you can have a look at: svn cat svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-eucalyptus/tools/mrconfig ) We are using git with the git-buildpackage helper tool, and I am not aware of a single git command that would clone the git repository with the same layout as the one obtained with the git-import-dsc command. “debcheckout --git-track='*' <repo>” would, but this is not so easy to remember for beginners, and requires the package to have been uploaded, which is not friendly with collaborative preparation of new packages. Using mr, I could prepare a config file that makes the checkout as needed (and sets the user.name and user.email according to the devscripts environment variables, etc.). However mr does not support partial checkouts. I hope that this use case will motivate to add support for partial checkouts.
