I set the alias "mtn" since much before reading about the abbreviation
on this mailing list.
I guess it's just "natural" ;-)

I would have "monotone" as a command and "mtn" as a symlink, I like short
aliases but I also like descriptive names.
As in:
- "mtn? what's that?"
- "ls -l 'which mtn'"
- "aah, it's short for monotone".
(the opposite wouldn't work very well in this scenario ^_^)
