I'll definitely second this.

 

As a monotone user reading this list fairly consistently, I actually think that monotone is *MUCH* closer to being at a v1.0 state than the core development team might think.  So oddly, every time new features get discussed on this, I find myself a bit disappointed....only because the feature set that's already there is nearly sufficient.

'mtn log' and 'mtn annotate' are unusable for me since a dual opteron 244 is just too slow
to  handle a repo with 8k revs (and ~800 merges). To get around that I have a newsreader
subscriber to an rss feed that aggregated the viewmtn rss feeds, which allows me to search
in commit messages in realtime (Newsfire has search-as-you-type). Nathaniel built me mtn
from mainline last week that sped up log, which means that starting from 0.30 'mtn log'
will be useable for large-ish projects.
I still think monotone is the best open-source VCS/SCM around, but I am a bit dissapointed
at 'history digging' tools and their performance. And more recently in 'mtn add' and 'mtn
diff' being broken by the IMO bogus restriction code. So I'm wondering, is there a plan to
fix bugs like this, or is the plan to keep adding more features like policy branches and
do a bug-sprint after that?

regards,

Koen
