Managing dot-files with vcsh and myrepos

Say I want to get my dot-files out on a new computer. Here's what I do:

# install vcsh & myrepos via apt/brew/etc

vcsh clone https://github.com/tfnico/config-mr.git mr

mr update

Done! All dot-files are ready to use and in place. No deploy command, no linking up symlinks to the files . No checking/out in my entire home directory as a Git repository. Yet, all my dot-files are neatly kept in fine-grained repositories, and any changes I make are immediately ready to be committed:

config-atom.git

-> ~/.atom/*

config-mr.git

-> ~/.mrconfig

-> ~/.config/mr/*

config-tmuxinator.git

-> ~/.tmuxinator/*

config-vim.git

-> ~/.vimrc

-> ~/.vim/*

config-bin.git

-> ~/bin/*

config-git.git

-> ~/.gitconfig

config-tmux.git

-> ~/.tmux.conf

config-zsh.git

-> ~/.zshrc

How can this be?…
