This is a work-in-progress task, i.e. new stuff is added on demand, but we 
don't track that in this ticket.

In the meantime guitone gathered add / drop / revert support by simply 
executing the userland commands. I still might want to fix that some day, but 
its not high priority.

Marking as fixed since some commands (update, checkout, ...) have been 
implemented in the meantime.

Hi!

I'm currently working on a Qt-GUI for monotone, named "guitone". Well, this is 
not very far as of now, but I'm working on it quite hard to get something 
reasonable out there.

To communicate with monotone I wrote a wrapper around "monotone automate 
stdio", with which I can do basic things like checking the inventory (and the 
state of each item). Now, to do more advanced things like 
adding/dropping/renaming/committing items I can't use "automate" at all since 
the functionality does not exists in the interface yet. I could, of course, use 
the normal UI functionality to do these things, but

a) these are (will be?) language dependent and hard to parse therefor
b) I don't like to built two wrappers, one for stdio and one for all other 
calls...

So it would be really, REALLY nice if the automation interface would reflect 
the actual command set available through monotone, or, as a starting point, at 
least those things which are most-often used.

Tommy.
