OK, to give more details on what Dirk implied: monotone can "serve"
over SSH by starting a new mtn process on the server, in the user's
SSH session. This process locks the database, so only one user can
sync with it at any one time. The process exits when the sync is
complete. With the dedicated server on port 4691, several users can
use the database concurrently, and do not require SSH access.

And of course, a central database is not always required in the first
place.

Still, hosting may be a problem, and Ada-France solves it.
