Well, if you're only worried about the author of the patch, there's
always `mtn commit --author $AUTHOR`. However, I somehow don't think
that's what you had in mind.

I remember a discussion - around the CVS import stuff - about tagging a
commit with some king of "foreign-VCS-origin" cert. "Tag" really is the
wrong name here. We rather discussed a monotone attribute on the root
directory or the commit itself. A fancier idea I original had was
one-time-certs...  none of it got ever implemented, AFAIK.
