Odd; I just ran exactly this command with the static linux/x86 0.29
binary we distribute, and the checkout completed fine in not much time
at all.  ~20 seconds CPU time, somewhat more than that real.

What system are you on?  Is it possible your build is broken somehow?
Can you determine where monotone is freezing up?  Is it using CPU?  If
you attach to it with gdb, can you get a backtrace (by doing:
  $ gdb `which mtn` `pidof mtn`
  (gdb) backtrace
)?  Does strace say anything interesting?
