I agree... I have never been a friend of monotone but got used to it. But it
reminds you that it is still not ready for complex projects. Just to mention the
pain that updates are not atomic operations and problems during an update end up
in the pain of a broken repository.
Another major problem is that a monotone update sometimes causes a very time
consuming database update. Waiting half a day on a really fast machine for the
database to become usable again is a real showstopper.
