My experience is that such "multi-branch constructs" are
quite often necessary when using Monotone for more
sophisticated tasks. In this light, I think it would be
particularly important to have user interface options for
deleting branches, renaming branches, and generally purging
the database. Doing these things on the SQL level is not for
everybody (me, for example) and achieving the desired effect
by using temporary databases is, well, cumbersome.

So I was wondering: Is it very difficult to implement these
things? I honestly don't know, so I ask ... but if it is
not, I would recommend doing it _soon_, because I think
these options would really lift the usability of the tool to
a new level.

Not that I expect anyone to care what _I_ want. :-)
