Superpull

This script will git clone all repositories from a Github user or organization, and keep them updated with git pull --ff-only. It is intended to be run in a folder that contains exlusively the repositories from that user or organisation.

• Specific repositories can be ignored by adding their names as lines to a .superpull_ignore file.
• Repositories will only be updated if .git/FETCH_HEAD is older than three days, and the pushed_at time of the Github API result is newer than .git/FETCH_HEAD. See stale_repository_criterium.
