Most of the relevant commands are pretty trivial info-dumping things,
"heads" and "give me ancestry information" and "tell me about this
cert" etc., where most of the logic _is_ the the formatting. What if
we added a subcommand family called something like "automate",
analogous to "db" or "list" -- so "monotone automate heads" just
prints the head revision ids one per line, no pretty-printing, no
sensitivity to --verbose, etc.
As someone who's had to write far more of those kludgy shell scripts
that you mention than I would like to admit, I love this idea.
