Let me begin with saying that I dont particularly understand the whole
complex thing that is distributed version control and Monotone in
particular.
With that said, one thing that comes to my mind to uniquely identify a
commit is to use seconds since 00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC, and the user
who commited the changeset. It could look something like
"address@hidden:1102092772". It would be unique and still be
incrementing (hopefully, or else time would be grinding to a
halt). Just wanted to throw the suggestion out here. Cant think of
many downsides to this approach, but I have most probably not thought
of everything.
Just reminded myself that it might not be portable to Windows. Anyone?
