+repositories. The output looks like this:

+[ ][P] D:\\Git\\cmd (~1)
+[C][P] D:\\Git\\Etiquette
+[ ][P] D:\\Git\\voussoirkit (+1)
+[C][ ] D:\\Git\\YCDL (↑3)
+

+- Create a gitcheckup.txt file in the same directory as this file, where every
+  line contains an absolute path to the directory, or
+- Pass directories as a series of arguments to this program.
+
+flags:
+--fetch:
+    Run `git fetch --all` in each directory.
+
