The main functionality of the tool is to import declared dependencies from other Just projects and generate a repository configuration which can directly be used by **`just-mr`**(1). The imported repositories are renamed in a way that no conflicts arise and in a way to remind for which repositories they come as a -dependency. This extends thus the capabilities of existing tools such as -**`just-import-git`**(1) by implicitly allowing multiple imports to take place -and import sources other than Git repositories. +dependency. This mirrors the capabilities of existing tools such as +**`just-import-git`**(1) and extends them by features such as implicitly +allowing multiple imports to take place and supporting imports from sources +other than Git repositories (e.g., distfiles, local clones, repositories under +arbitrary version control systems). By default, the final configuration has the repositories deduplicated, by merging indistinguishable repositories, other than the `"main"` repository and -explicitly stated ones, to a single repository.
