Don't even bother. The guy is apparently not even trying to work with his

Quite frankly, anybody who wants to stay with monotone, we should 
_encourage_ them. They add nothing to any possible project, because they 
are clearly not very intelligent.

The guy is apparently happy using a single database for monotone (which 
apparently has a database that is two times the size of the git one), but 
then doesn't want to use a single database for git, but wants to force a 
full clone for each. Not to mention that in git, you'd normally not do 11 
clones to begin with, you'd just do 11 branches in one repo.

So there is no point discussing things with people like that. If he wants 
to skew things in monotone's favor, he can do it. Let him.
