+Remote options @strong{must} be given as a single token, ie
address@hidden or @option{-bfoo}. This is because the local and remote
+monotones may not understand exactly the same options (so the local monotone
+cannot know if an option given as @option{--branch} or @option{-b} should be
+followed by an argument), and because the server sees this as an
address@hidden remote_stdio} connection (so it expects the options to already
+be parsed).
