Many thanks to all the Monotone developers for such a cool program! I
hope you won't mind if venture a tiny suggestion.
Monotone makes me very happy, once I get it running. But it could
make a better first impression if the initial checkout sequence were
shorter, and defaulted a bit better.
Checking out the monotone tree currently requires three steps:
$ monotone --db=monotone.db db init
$ monotone --db=monotone.db --key="" pull venge.net net.venge.monotone
$ monotone --db=monotone.db --branch=net.venge.monotone co monotone
Anonymous CVS checkouts take two steps, login and checkout. But SVN
does a particularly nice job of this:
$ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kjs
This produces a local directory named kjs/ containing exactly the source I need.
Is it desirable to have a short "initial checkout" sequence? And if
so, do people have any thoughts about what syntax to use?
Cheers,
Eric
