Re: [Monotone-devel] Re: Dumb Question

I wouldn't change anything.  This whole thread is, as you say, a documentation issue.

 

Which brings me to my next question:

 

There does not seem to be an FAQ on the Monotone Wiki.  Would you be averse if I started one and copied the contents of the existing FAQ in there?  Or is there a good reason that the FAQ is not part of the Wiki?

Eek.  This tells me we need better documentation :-).

I almost wonder if we should rename "update" to "rebase" or something?
"Moving forward" just happens to be one of its more common use cases;
the basic operation is "move to X", and X defaults to "current head"
(roughly).

Revert, on the other hand, is a way of modifying the files in the
current workspace, and is entirely orthogonal to update...
