There were two spellings for the same thing -- a flat
remoteurl/remotekey/remotetype/remotevisibility set for a single server,
and remote.<name>.* blocks for several. The flat one is gone; every
target, including a lone one, is now a named block with the fields url,
key, type and visibility.
An existing ~/.mgshrc is converted on the next start. Only the key is
rewritten, so values, comments, alignment, commented-out lines and the
file's 0600 mode survive untouched, and mgsh prints each rename rather
than doing it quietly. The target is named "public", which is what the
old settings called the git remote they created, so a converted setup
keeps pushing to the same place under the same remote name. A file that
carries both spellings keeps what the new one says.
The environment follows the same shape: MGSH_REMOTEURL and friends are
replaced by MGSH_REMOTE_<NAME>_<FIELD>, so MGSH_REMOTE_GITLAB_KEY sets
remote.gitlab.key. The field is read from the end of the variable name,
which leaves target names free to contain underscores.

They were a list underneath the table, which meant reading the same
project names in two different shapes. They are rows now, with the action
in an "init" column that only appears when some row needs it, and they
sort to the bottom as their own group: an un-inited directory is a
different kind of task and should not push the daily ones down.
Every directory under the base gets a row, not just the repositories --
`init` is exactly what turns a plain directory into a project, so leaving
those out would have hidden the ones the column is for. Such a row has no
git state to show and costs no subprocesses either, since projectStatus
now checks for .git before running any.
The count line gained "N to init"; the projects count still counts
repositories, so the two numbers stay meaningful side by side. An
unreachable server marks nothing at all, as before.

It answered a question `list` already answers, and it did so on every
run: the point of the overview is the state of the projects you have,
not a second listing of the server. reportInventory became
reportUnpublished and now reports one thing -- the local projects the
server has never seen, which are the ones `init` is for.

The status field was not a column: "*", "↑2", "✓" and "✓ (no upstream)"
are four different widths, so everything after them started somewhere
else on every line and the eye had to hunt along each row instead of
going down one.
Each field now has its own measured column: name (with the branch
appended when it is not master/main), a one-character dirty marker, the
sync state, host and age, then the mirrors. "(no upstream)" was fifteen
columns wide for something that is not even a problem, and is now "–".
Colour weights the row rather than decorating it -- a project that is
clean and in sync goes grey, the arrows and the dirty marker keep their
colour -- and the rows needing action sort to the top, alphabetically
within each group so positions stay predictable.
padRight counted bytes, which was fine while everything it padded was
ASCII; the arrows and check marks are three bytes and one column, so it
counts runes now.

Two mistakes in the size support, reported from a real server.
The remote command used "2>/dev/null" to silence du. That is sh syntax,
and the git user's login shell need not be sh: in csh it parses as an
argument "2" followed by a redirection of stdout, so du was handed a
file named "2", complained, and exited non-zero. The redirection is
gone -- without it there is no bogus argument to trip over, and the
command now uses nothing that differs between sh and csh.
Worse, the exit status of the chain is the *last* command's, so that
failing du made sshOut return an error and `list` threw away a listing
that had arrived perfectly intact. It now reports a failure only when
nothing usable came back at all; a listing that parsed is shown whatever
the exit status, simply without the size column.

`list -a` had sizes because archives are files; repositories are
directories, and a long listing reports the inode size for those -- 4096
for every single one. Taking that number would have filled the column
with the same meaningless value, so the real disk usage is asked of `du`
instead, appended to the same remote command so it still costs one round
trip.
The column is dropped entirely when no usable sizes come back, rather
than showing a column of zeroes, so a server without a working `du`
degrades to the previous output. The summary line carries the total.

The name is what the eye looks for, but it came last, behind a ragged
date column, so nothing lined up. Worse, colorRepoLine rebuilt the line
with strings.Fields and single spaces, which destroyed the alignment ls
had produced -- the output was aligned only when colour was off.
The listing line is now parsed properly instead of being split at the
size field: name, date and size come out as fields, the date is re-padded
to a fixed twelve columns so "Sep 28 2016" and "Jan 3 14:32" agree, and
the name leads in a column sized to the longest entry. Colour decorates
that layout without changing it, which a test now checks by stripping the
escapes and comparing. `list -a` shows archive sizes, which were parsed
and thrown away before.
An empty result says so instead of printing nothing, which was
indistinguishable from a failure, and the count line matches the rest of
mgsh. The pattern now filters on the repository name rather than the
whole listing line: matching the owner or the date was never intended and
`list 2016` quietly did it.

overview showed dirty and ahead/behind per project, which git can do on
its own. mgsh is the only thing that sees both the local base directory
and the ssh server, and joining those answers the questions git cannot:
which projects were never pushed to the server (candidates for `init`),
and which exist there but not on this machine (candidates for `clone`).
Both lists are printed after the summary. An unreachable server is
reported as such, rather than as "everything is missing".
Each row also names the machine that made the last commit and how long
ago. That costs nothing: `push` has always stamped "[user@host]" into
the commit message, and nothing ever read it back. On a setup spanning
several machines it is usually the piece one actually wanted. Rows also
show which mirror targets the repository has a remote for, which is
local git config and therefore free.
The walk is now concurrent and cheaper per project: `git status
--porcelain=v2 --branch` yields branch, upstream, ahead/behind and dirty
in one subprocess where three were used before.

`release [@name ...] <tag> [notes]` does the whole chain in one step —
create the annotated tag, push it to the internal server, then push it to
each selected mirror and turn it into a release object there. Target
selection reuses pushremote's @name mechanism, so the two behave alike.
Notes are generated when none are given: the tag's own annotation when it
carries more than the default, otherwise the commit subjects since the
previous tag, capped at 50 lines. `tag add v1.0 "why this exists"` now
takes a message, which is what that fallback reads; before, the
annotation was always just the tag name.
Tags ending in -rc/-alpha/-beta/-pre are marked as pre-releases on Gitea
and GitHub. Releasing the same tag twice updates the existing release;
a tag that already points at a different commit stops the command, since
moving a published tag makes one version mean different things per
server. A repository that is not on the mirror yet is reported instead of
being created as a side effect.
Binary assets are deliberately out of scope: Gitea attaches them to the
release, GitHub uses a separate upload host, and GitLab does not host
them at all but wants a link into its package registry.
The providers differ in path shape and field names -- GitLab addresses
projects by URL-encoded path, calls the notes "description" and has no
pre-release flag -- so this comes with a recording httptest stand-in that
asserts the exact requests for all three. That harness also covers
authUser, repoExists and the auth header forms, which had no test at all.

The README had no complete list of settings, so gitkey being inert and
`remotes` being undocumented were invisible. It now carries a reference
table of every setting with its meaning and whether a project .mgshrc may
override it, kept honest by a test that checks each listed key really has
an MGSH_* override.
It also documents what mgsh expects of the git server, which was assumed
but never written down: the login directory of gituser *is* gitpath —
every remote command runs there without a cd — and archive/ has to exist
before `archive` and `clone -a` can work. Plus the per-project config,
the multi-target pushremote forms, `config`, and how the project is
derived from the working directory in command-line mode.
