 Do "mr update" to clone or update all Git repositories listed in this repository.
 
 See .mrconfig for the actual list.
 
 The "mr" command is shipped in the "mr" Debian package.
 
 
+For regular updates after initial setup, you can use the `bin/update` helper:
+
+    cd swh-environment
+    bin/update
+
+
 ~/.mrtrust
 ----------
 
 Since we do execute some commands after update/checkout (specifically: ensuring
 pre-commit hooks exist where needed), you will need to tell mr that you "trust"
 the .mrconfig used by swh-environment. If in doubt, open
 swh-environment/.mrconfig and review the commands listed there.
 
 To trust the .mrconfig, do something like the following:
 
     cd swh-environment
     echo `pwd`/.mrconfig >> ~/.mrtrust
 
 
 PYTHONPATH
 ----------
 
 We use several Python modules, that should all be in the PYTHONPATH to be
 found. To that extent, we provide in this repository a script to set the
 PYTHONPATH variable to the correct value. You can use it as follows:
 
     . pythonpath.sh
 
 
 Initialize a new Python package repository
 ------------------------------------------
 
 1. create the remote Git repository on the forge
 
 2. add it to `.mrconfig` (e.g. using mr register)
 
 3. mr update
 
    this will clone the (empty) repository locally
 
 4. bin/init-py-repo REPO_NAME
 
    this will fill the repository with the template for SWH Python packages, and
    make an initial commit
 
 5. cd REPO_NAME ; git push
