* [Bazaar (bzr)](#bazaar)
* [CVS (cvs)](#cvs)
-* [Git (git)](#git)
* [Mercurial (hg)](#mercurial)

+define `vcsrepo` without `source` or `revision`.
+
+ vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo":
+ ensure => present,
+ provider => git,
+ }
+
+If you're defining `vcsrepo` for a central or official repository, you may want to make it a bare repository. You do this by setting `ensure` to 'bare' rather than 'present'.
+
+ vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo":
+ ensure => bare,

+#####To clone/pull a repository
+

+ vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo":

+#####Sources that use SSH
+
+When your source uses SSH, such as 'username@server:…', you can manage your SSH keys with Puppet using the [require](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#require) metaparameter in `vcsrepo` to ensure they are present.
+
+For SSH keys associated with a user, enter the username in the `user` parameter. Doing so will use that user's keys.
+
+ user => 'toto' # will use toto's $HOME/.ssh setup
