Just FYI.

This is almost what darcs does and it works for them.  This is an
output from darcs get --help

      --set-default                  set default repository [DEFAULT]
      --no-set-default               don't set default repository
      --set-scripts-executable       make scripts executable
      --dont-set-scripts-executable  don't make scripts executable
      --plain-pristine-tree          Use a plain pristine tree [DEFAULT]
      --no-pristine-tree             Use no pristine tree
