Bug#645965: mr: Can't register local git repo

I would have thought that with the connections to the VCS-Home project or just in general this would be a more common setup. Having a repo with no remotes is one of the nice things about DVCs.

Or is my best option just adding a dummy url entry to my .git/config? -- John Eikenberry [ j...@zhar.net - http://zhar.net ] [ PGP public key @ http://zhar.net/jae_at_zhar_net.gpg ] Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery signature.asc Description: Digital signature

An empty stanza like I showed in .mrconfig will work fine, it's just that I don't see a good way to mr register to guess you want that configuration. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
