Tool for versioning repositories. Forked from https://github.com/skelterjohn/vendor
Currently supports git and mercurial.
Usage: version [-d DIR] -s [-a PATH=REPO]* CONFIG_FILE_NAME # save
version [-d DIR] -r CONFIG_FILE_NAME # restore
To version all repositories in project version -s version.json
To restore all repositories in project version -r version.json
Default for DIR is the current working directory.
version -s searches through DIR looking for repositories, making a record of all that it finds, and writes it to CONFIG.
Zero or more additional repositories that exist outside of subdirectories of DIR may be vendored using the -a PATH=REPO flag. PATH is the location within DIR that it will be put on a restore, and REPO is the absolute path of the repository root.
version -r looks at CONFIG, and clones all the recorded repositories into DIR.
version prints the local directories of the repositories it processes. This printing makes it easy to update a .gitignore or .hgignore file.
$ version -s >> .gitignore
