A tool for BitKeeper users. auto-bk-get is an on-demand 'bk get' libc wrapper tool. Its purpose is to allow the automatic checkout of only the files that are needed by a software's build tool for a certain type of build.
For example, Linux kernel may fidn it useful that you don't need to run 'bk -r get' in order to build the kernel. Instead, you just run 'make config' or 'make bzImage', using auto-bk-get in a clean repository and auto-bk-get will only 'bk get' the files you need from the repository (one of my test cases showed only 2800 out of 14000 files were checked out).
It also supports building in an entirely different directory, taking the files from a repository somewhere else.
To download and compile auto-bk-get:
# bk clone http://auto-bk-get.bkbits.net/auto-bk-get # cd auto-bk-get # make
