Description-en: Commands to manage multi-VCS repositories (for Robot OS)
This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It provides commands to
manage several local VCS repositories based on a single workspace
definition file (.rosinstall). Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and Bazaar
are supported.
.
wstool replaces the rosws tool for catkin workspaces. As catkin
workspaces create their own setup file and environment, wstool is
reduced to version control functions only. So wstool does not have a
"regenerate" command, and does not allow adding non-version
controlled elements to workspaces. In all other respects, it behaves
the same as rosws.
