John Goerzon wrote a script to handle this for arch, called
"tla-load-dirs".  It basically shows a list of missing and new files,
and lets you match up those that have moved, and commit the rest as
adds/deletes.  Very simple, but it works well, at least on projects that
don't do massive tree re-organisations with every release.  It should be
easily adaptable to work with monotone (there's already a svn version).
