I don't know what this is.

If it is some kind of "what is the status of my working tree?" query,
I recommend the cvsutils (or is it cvs-utils?  I recommend both...)
for this sort of thing.  I probably use "cvsu" 50 times a day.

I've been hoping to use monotone (http://www.venge.net/monotone/) to
help with classpath/libgcj merges.  A system like this would help us a
lot...  unfortunately it isn't quite ready for this yet.

Subversion can do this?
