However, right here and now, Monotone already does what Ludovic's wants, and I must say it does look very interesting. I find it interesting in Monotone you can commit changes even if your tree is not up-to-date, so you only commit your changes first go, and then you do the merge. As opposed to being forced to do both in the one commit (I never liked this model). There are still some thing on this I am curious about though, for example, what happens if two people try to merge conflicting trees at the same time? It also seems to have Windows support (a weak point in gnuarch/bazaar only addressed in bazaar-ng - yes Windows clients exist in the earlier versions, but my understanding is that they are very much hacks). -- Brian May
